I just want to get your opinions of the Colt Defender. I have one and it functions and shoots extremely well. I have not had one stove pipe, jam or feed problem. Very smooth all around. Are you having the same results with yours?

I've carried mine for quite a few years. I'm left handed. I installed an ambi' safety, new trigger,steel mainspring housing, and Heini "straight 8" night sights.
I've probably put over a thousand rounds through it with no problems. I'm in a quandry over witch is my favorite the Defender or my lightweight stainless commander :eek:
I have a picture of it. How do I go about adding a picture?

Just bought 45 colt defender last week, so far I love it put about 200 rounds through it so far no problems at all. the one thing I did notice is that it is about 3'' low at 35 or 40 feet is this the norm.

What bullet are you using?
I carry 230gr hydroshocks, and use 230gr hardball loaded with 4.5 bullseye for pratice.
Shoots point of aim at 15 yards.
