Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.
If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts Bin" forums, not in these forums. Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued. |

New Series 70 Stainless Pistol Questions
I have a new stainless Colt Mk IV/Series 70 pistol that I bought recently. I've not shot it yet, but was cleaning it and noticed that the slide and frame are not flush at the back of the slide. The difference is small, but is visible, feelable and measurable.
I've read that there have been problems with the new Colt pistols in this area. Is this a safety issue or merely a cosmetic one? What will be required to correct this problem if it's just a cosmetic issue and not a safety / warranty issue. thanks, Tom |

This cosmetic issue seems to be plaguing most of the new Colts currently being made. What it tells me is Colt has the machines set up wrong to cut the lower barrel feet but apparently doesn't give a rip.
Send it back to Colt and make them fix it. |

To further clarify my statement, if folks don't send guns with defects back to the factory they're not going to understand how much of an issue it really is. I honestly believe roughly half of the new 1911's currently being made by Colt have the slide/frame fitting problem described here. If they all went back to the factory, and Colt found itself inundated with guns needing repair maybe they'd get their act sorted out a bit faster.
