Thanks . I'll tell you guys this, Colt really Improved the Double Action Trigger! Virtually NO Stacking! It's like just one continuous smooth pull! Amazing!
Glad I bought it! Also Glad I Waited till Colt got the "Bugs" out! After about 400 rounds, I can say it's Just Fine!

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

Thanks for making the pictures viewable, LOL.
I'm using Chrome on a 32" monitor at 1080p (1920x1080), which I view from 4' away to reduce eyestrain. I was an IT director before I retired and staring at computer screens all day for decades took a toll on my eyes. Using large monitors at a distance is how I coped with it. The computer knows what size the monitor is and of course it doesn't know I'm that far away so it assumes that I have my face stuck up close to the screen and makes everything tiny on the huge screen. So I have to enlarge everything to 150% to be able to read the text.

I wish I could enlarge just the text and not the pictures, but for most sites it's not an issue because they autosize the images to fit.
