Four months - six months, TEN months? That is insane. It is not as if they had to mine the ore to get the job done. I could almost understand a extended wait for a complete new custom pistol, not for a collet bushing and a front sight. They should be ashamed of themselves. Instead, they remain arrogant
Long after I was having issues with Colt, I bought a Gold Cup. I sent that to Jim Garthwaite for the collet bushing, front sight and other work. Mr. Garthwaite did an excellent job and returned the pistol to me in under 8 weeks. My Night Commander was sent back to Colt for a "tactical package," which, in all fairness, involves more work. But, say it however you want, ten months is outrageous custom service. They did adjust the price $100 for the delay, but you would think that they were pulling it out their rectum, when I suggested it.

Best wishes.
