I don’t hate Colt firearms.
I brought a new Holy Grail SAA. Paid a lot of money for it. It was a beautiful gun gun out of the box. The nickel finish blew off of the front of the cylinder when I shot the first box of 50 cartridges. So I sent the cylinder back to be refinished. Then the nickel finish on the frame peeled off so I had to send it back.
I could not get it to shoot good groups. I even had Bob Munden shoot it. However a lot of experimentation I discovered the cylinder throats where .457”+. I sent it back to the factory and Colt refused to replace it. Instead I got a note saying the gun was “within factory specs” and I should just enjoy owning a “collectable firearm”.
So Colt AR’s are better that everyone else’s yet they can’t win any military contracts. Screw me once shame on you. Screw me twice shame on me.
