If you intend to shoot one of the Colt's with a 2 stage hand, I recommend putting a bit of grease/lube on both the ratchet and both stages of the hand. That will be a dramitic help in keeping it in time. Running one dry and/or cycling the action fast will cause them to go out of time faster as will end play on the cylinder since it is in hard contact with the hand during firing.

Great revolvers but they require more attention than a S&W or Ruger.
