A few things, to clean it you take the barrel off so the sighting is disturbed, the backsight is on the hammer so everytime you cock it the sighting is disturbed, there is no topstrap so it is generally accepted the gun is weaker, they are prone to jamming because the spent cap often falls into the hole where the hammer is. But its only my opinion, you make your own choice.
I work as a range officer and have lost count of the times I have had to sort out jammed Colts on the firing point. It often results in taking the barrel off to sort it, which is not a good feeling when the cylinder has loaded chambers.
