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!

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.

I kinda figured Colt would fix the problems ASAP. They should have never let it out the door first though.

Yes, and I have shot some HOT factory ammo through it too!
No .38 Special. I won't do it. It's a .357 magnum and that is what it will be shooting! I do have some Fairly Light .357 Mag Loads, I have some really Hot Loads. I have shot many different types and brands of ammo. No Malfunctions.
