Stainless Colt, Magnesium Trigger, and a Dunking in the Creek.

[Col. Colt]

What I do NOT want in a long term, "Go To Gun" is parts that cannot take even a light environmental challange without degrading! Mangesium would seem to be a lousy choice for this application. Short of a significant change in Dlask's materiels/coating, I think I will avoid them. If the Bubble does Burst, you want VERY low Maintenance to be your situation. CC

No argument from me. Like as not, given a choice I'd probably use the circa 1924 Argentine Naval contract Colt, except it doesn't have night sights.

The default night time handgun of service size has been either a Glock 34 and/or a 4" stainless Python for quite a few years. It seems that the night sights for the Python have been discontinued, though, so will have to see if the vials can be replaced when they get too dim...someday.
