Ed Brown Products responded quickly this morning with a Return Authorization.   I mailed the broken parts back to them today and will await their decision.

Meanwhile back to the range tomorrow to re-try some groupings with my Colt.



Quick response......I'll bet the service is as quick too.

You got a bad casting Alf.
I will bet money that they will take one look and ship you a new one.
I will also double down by saying that an Xray would show a void, stress fracture, or some other weakness in the original casting.

VOID!!!!   :D
That's the term I had on tip of my brain and fingers.....VOID....
I was drawing a blank yestiddy. We used to get them in our castings. It would cause tearing in extrusions.

Thanks for jogging my memory.   :D  ;)

Well, not sure what I proved.   Might have to try this again with larger bulls-eye targets.  These were kind of small.

Took the 1911 to the range and fired two groups from bean-bags.   I think some of the flyers were my fault.  I'm thinking....poo on those who poo-poo the split collet.  My model 70 does just fine thank you.  Not that I'm biased or anything.  ;D

Nice group. My 1974 era Series 70 (also with the finger bushing) will hold about that tight of grouping (or better) if I do my part and use select ammo. Never had trouble out of it and used it for years as a Bullseye competition gun.

The collet bushing was a good idea for accuracy, but they do break and lock the pistol up very well.. Never have one on an SD pistol.Been around long enough, I have seen every failure I ever read about.

Re: Ed Brown extended safety

WELL as everyone predicted,  Ed Brown Products came through.   In the mail was a brand new extended safety to replace the one that busted.   

Now the only problem is the hour or so it takes to fit this to the gun.   File, polish, replace, test.....repeat about 10 times.

Oh I definitely agree 100% that it has no place on a SD gun....target guns only for me. I like the EGW Melt bushings. Very solid.
