I ran the 9mm Colt again this morning. That is a really sweet shooter.

Cross your fingers that this will be the only time you send it back!I pick up a Taurus 1911 at a good price. The slid fit was a bit sloppy. I sent it in to Taurus. Free shipping and handling and gun smithing.
It came back a great shooter. Then I added very custom grips. It became a very great shooter.
It's no big secret that I'm a Colt fanboy, but yesterday tried my patience greatly. I just bought a new lightweight 38 super commander, and I decided to run some rounds through it. I had trouble with the slide not locking back after the last round, plus the magazine didn't want to drop free either. I had to take my finger and push down on the magazine through the ejection port to get it to come out. I was using the two crappy mags that came with the gun, so hopefully it was just a magazine issue. I'll grab some older Colt mags that work along with some aftermarket ones to see if that helps.
The other thing that ticked me off was the grip on the left side shot loose. I usually keep a small tool in my bag to fix things like this, but I didn't have it with me. No worries. I'll just take care of it when I get back. Fast forward to my bench, and as I was tightening the grip screw, I find the grip bushing on top was stripped. Now those need to be replaced.
In the grand scheme of things, a couple of mags and some inexpensive bushings aren't the end of the world, but when you pay what Colt is asking, you don't expect to have to deal with this issue after 150 rounds.
