Welp... I just got off the phone with Colt.
I planned to go to the range for first shots after work today. Of course, this piece of ballistic sex just beckons for fondling and dry fire. I'm using dummy rounds, of course.
Earlier today, as I was dry firing, the trigger didn't reset
and the cylinder spins freely in the CLOSED position. WTF is going on? I haven't even fired it yet. FUCK!
When I dry fired it in double action, the trigger would stick back (with my finger not touching it) and then a moment later pop back forward into the reset position. It wouldn't spring forward like it normally does. The delayed reset would happen with the gun literally on the counter and me not touching it.
During this malfunction, the cylinder just spins freely. The "hand" isn't coming up and engaging the cylinder.
Does the same thing with the snap caps out.
OK... Then dry firing it multiple times in double action, it seemed to have fixed itself. But godammit... WTF happened?
I've now dry fired a bunch of times and cannot duplicate the problem. But it definitely happened as described above. Very strange.
The honeymoon was a false start. And it suuuuuuuuuuucks. This was my dream gun.
Another issue I noticed... whoever installed the rear sight pin was hamfisted and bulged the frame in that area.
Colt is sending me an RMA# and shipping label.
