Thanks. That sounds right. This one is out of the Colt Custom Gunshop and I really should not have to worry about hardball anymore but I thought I should ask. I remember they also chambered these for the 38 spc back in the day. It would be best to let a younger shooter snarf it up. I am still a fair pistol shot but my hand and eye is not what it used to be! We will see who gives in first.
I had one of the pre-Series 70's, and it would handle heavy loads (heavier than GI hardball), but I had to replace the rear sight crosspin with one made of a stronger steel. The factory pins (roll pins) would shear! I ended up
making a pin from the shank of a Herter's stainless steel fishhook. It was the only type of steel I ever found that held up for many, many rounds!!
