Most people here are very much against them for a few reasons:
1)They are not MADE by Colt. 2)They are imported by an airsoft company (although mfg by Walther) 3)They are made of mostly proprietary parts 4)Quite a few guys have posted about troubles with function (though I think a lot of the guys posting are just regurgitating the bad they've read) I have one and it's phenominal. I sold my Spike's upper in favor of it since I was going for a dedicated .22 anyway and the Colt was $100 cheaper than the upper alone. I've run just over 1k through it so far w/o cleaning or lube and it's been very accurate (ringing gong at 100yds offhand w/ irons easily). They are easy to tune if you read the manual for 2minutes. They are far from the best but for a dedicated .22 setup I'm happy... if only I can fix this shitty trigger! |

I run Win/DynaPoints since that's what runs great in my Kuehl-based suppressed M16/22 - in semi-auto, one is just as much fun as the other and the Colt goes to the range when I don't feel like taking $13K+ worth of gun to just run semi. I even suppressed mine .............. Colt/Walther/UMAREX/Gemtech 22:
