Since it's about 99 percent certain that a Colt Mark IV must have been previously owned, any reliability "issues" are 98 percent certain to be due to something the previous owner did to it. Anyone who buys a used Colt 1911 that doesn't run, if you don't like it send me a PM and I'll gladly give you mthe details of my FFL so you can ship it off to me. After all, if it's that bad you certainly wouldn't want the guilt trip of selling it to someone, now would you?

I love those Colt paperweights -- especially the Officers and Combat Commander paperweights.
