Have had several over the years, let the last one get away in a moment of weakness. Stick with plated bullets, the floating chamber will stay free longer. Put a full length guide rod in it, that way you can take the unit off in one piece. The accuracy problems are generally partly caused by a misfit between the lug on the bottom of the barrel and the corresponding cut in the frame. The tighter it is, the more accurate.
I would tend to agreed. Years ago a buddy of mine got the Kimber version and he was relatively happy with it. I tried one on a Beretta 92 series and it ran great at the range. Considering most of the current/newer kits are aluminum slides I was really surprised at how well this Colt with all steel did. Very satisfied and a hoot to shoot!

Thanks for the information, appreciated.
