Folk pooh-pooh the Colt Series 80 firing pin safety, and I did, too, until I had a new Colt minus that safety blow a hole in my mattress when chambering a round, it was a defective/soft/outside sourced MIM hammer whose notch wore down in only a few hundred rounds, and also the sear spring tension was inadequate, so when the slide slammed home, the hammer fell and sear did not move fast enough to catch it. But, I don't trash all non-Series 80 Colts or copies as deathtraps.</blockquote>
