And I went out to shop for a Colt Comp. based on your post about yours. First one I tried at the store had a lazy plunger spring, which made the thumb safety not snap into or out of position fully. This was a NIB gun. I could not believe such a gun got past quality control. It was a POS. Instead I grabbed a new SIG Nickel Nitron 1911 at that store and it's been a fantastic shooter. Still, my Dan Wesson Valor makes it feel like a Jennings or Raven Arms Sat. night special. I'll put my DW up against any boutique 1911 that costs 2-3x as much. Still, when you get a good Colt, they're great. Hold onto it.
