I think the new Colts are the most reliable thing out there today. Just take a little time and read the posts around here and you will soon note that Colt is getting more positive comments as far as feeding and reliability are concerned.
I get to run the range for my agency, that allows me to see and shoot a lot of different guns. The Colts I have seen and shot are great, they feed and function right. There are no broken extractors, or slide stops, no tight or egg shaped chambers showing up, they just plain work.
I have had the chance to shoot several brand new 90 series Colts in the past week, each performed as expected with the exception of my brand new Defender, the rear sight was drifted left, I corrected that and it is right on at 25 yards.
I dont think you can beat the Colt, and if you dont like it and want to sell it off, the Colt retains resale value a lot better than some of the other copies.
