Who works on Colts?

[Larry C.]

Howdy,

I've got a Colt Detective Special which I believe, has timing issues. Does anyone know a good Colt gunsmith ( I understand that finding someone to work on a Colt isn't easy!)?
Perhaps I should contact the factory? anyone..Thanks.

Factory, Cylinder & Slide, there are others too.

Cylinder & Slide is among the best for working on the old Colt DA designs. They can do things for a Colt that the factory won't touch. If it was mine, that's where it'd go.

www.cylinder-slide.com I am for them working on a Colt. Quality and courtesy.

Cylinder & Slide is more on the order of someone to do true custom gunsmithing and custom alterations.
They're EXPENSIVE, and turn-around is slow.
Quality of work is sky-high.

For standard repairs I recommend:
The Colt factory.
NO ONE knows more about it then they do.
Price is very competitive, and turn-around is usually the fastest.

Pittsburgh Handgun Headquarters
1330 Center Ave.
Pittsburgh, PA 15229
(412) 766-6100

Pittsburgh used to be Colt's overflow for warranty repair work.
They apparently have a good supply of parts, and still work on the older guns, for which Colt doesn't have parts anymore.

Price is good, turn-around is good, and quality of work is factory-level.

These are the only places I will recommend, because I KNOW the quality of their work.
