I received my Colt...
I received my Colt Defender quickly and in good condition. Buds was great. I took it to the range and experienced 2 to 3 FTF per magazine. I got about 30 -50 rounds through it at the range, and took it back and called Colt's service dept. They suggested that I try different ammunition (I should have realized that) and that did the trick, the next trip to the range I tried several brands of ammo (including the original), and it has run fine since. The sights though are way off, and I have to aim about a foot high and to the left at 7 yards. Other then that I like it, but expect more for the price, and don't have the confidence to carry it as a concealed carry piece. Other than that, though I do really like, and once the sights are fixed I will carry it.
