I have had Colt issues too, with revolvers, not 1911's. And what about those Rugers revolvers that were blowing the barrels off-weren't they Redhawks or something? someone posted a picture of theirs with the barrel snapped off clean. Metallurgy or machining? I had a Taurus once. QC trouble. It had a machine defect but functionally it was perfect, just would not shoot straight. Of course I did not pursue any sort of warr. claim at the time, but that was 25+ years ago.
