No surprise that the Colt revolver lost timing. Unfortunately it was in the past and continues to be an issue is their design. They are pretty guns, but it is a Sunday BBQ gun to take out a and show your buddies not used and abused. Heck if time has shown us anything, just put it away and because it has the Colt name it will be worth more later when they discontinue them again and some shmoe will give you lots of money for it because of the label... Tier 1 ya know.
