- Hi!
-
- I bought a Colt Gold Cup 80 Series and it has this hokey trigger
- screw that fouls up every 50 or so shots. The screw is in the body
- of the trigger. The screw pulls out forward and the trigger is
- rendered useless. Currently the remedy is to insert a paper clip
- in to the screw and screw it in.
-
- Other than that, the trigger pull is excellent, the gun puts a hole
- in a hole in a hole ... It eats lead without special throating.
- There are no cycling problems. It's near perfect! I'll put it up
- against any wonder 9 in a second.
-
- My questions are:
- (1) What is this s*&t?! Did I make a mistake in buying the
- lastest and safest 1911 from Colt?
- and
- (2) Has anyone else had this problem? Will blue Loc-Tite fix
- the problem with reasonably assured reliablity?
-
- Wishing you safe gun sporting,
-
- Marc
