I had one of these Colts for a day. Never fired it and returned it and got the M&P. The sales guy led me to believe the Colt was a better product and when I came home I was excited to have it. Then, the next day before going to the range, the safety pin came out, I was able to get it back in but it would not go out of safe mode and the shop could not figure it out which was why I returned it, plus not being able to buy standard AR stuff for it made me a bit mad about buying it as the sales guy told me anything AR would fit. All in all I am happy with my 15-22.
