So I recently bought a colt Delta elite as the new models came with the beavertail safety and I THOUGHT (thats what I get for thinking) I wouldn't have to do anything to it for it to be a reliable gun.
After shooting it the first time I noticed not only did it not lock open on empty, but the trigger floats around in the trigger guard moving up and down and making a clanking sound when walking with it in a holster. I sent the gun back to colt to fix those issues. When I received their letter back, they claimed to have refit the trigger to spec, but they also wrote a note that they do not fit triggers in production guns as they are a "drop in part". I am pretty amazed that my springfield loaded pistol and my cheap sub $500 STI spartan have fitted triggers, but spending a grand on a colt delta means I will have to spend more money to have another part fitted.
Has anyone else noticed issues with trigger fitment in recent production colts? I can honestly say I will never buy another one and will stick to springfields. Also, does anyone want to buy a delta elite?
