    It's a three minute, seven sixteen dollar plate swap, literally.

    Buy it directly from H&K, avoid the "other" parts supplier.

    I think it's fair to follow up after today's USPSA match with a note that the Colt Competition ran flawlessly through five stages and a classifier. Accuracy was very good, so long as I did my part. ...

    Of course I went into this thing fully expecting it would need work, like any relatively cheap 1911, but even I was shocked at this lockwork. Shameful.
