My wife's father was a state trooper and his service gun was a "Trooper" in 357 so sometimes the name fits. My first wife was a snake but that's another story altogether.
I don't like snakes

I aways thought of Colt as the Rough side of town. And, Smith as the Gated rich neighborhood

I have to admit that the name thing can be a deal with me. Vortex is perhaps the dumbest name in the industry. This is a vortex:

She has ball pythons of different morphs. A few boas of different morphs. Some rat snakes. She has a milk snake that looks like coral. That one is my fave to look at. There is some others i forget what they are.
Followed by model 14 target masterpiece.

I think “registered magnum” and combat masterpiece” are the best names EVER in the gun industry. Number system is ok.. snake guns are cool, always have been always will be. Finest out of the box trigger I’ve ever felt was a classic 4 inch python. My 3 inch King Cobra is on my hip now as we embark on our Sunday travels

I have fantasies of stubbing into a shop and finding a RM prefix and they not know what they got!

It never has bothered me in the least. I bought my son a Diamondback for Christmas many years ago and have owned a Python. Got to name all them something and I remember the snake names better than model numbers. You think they are silly for guns just look at some of the names stuck on vehicles.
I do find the new King Cobra moniker for a 22LR rather goofy though. Itty bitty cartridge in a gun named for one of the deadliest and most aggressive snakes alive brings a grin every time I hear or think of it. Gopher or ratsnake would have been more appropriate but has no catchy sound to either.

Lipstick on a pig.
I've got a Colt Detective Special that, according to Colt was made in 1980. It identifies as an Agent because at some point someone screwed an Agent barrel on it, but its still a steel frame gun that I'm sure Colt would letter as a Detective Special. As far as it goes its not in bad shape, but...

You have never been in western movies I can see, The horse always rears up and dumps it's rider and many times the snake crawls over over and bites the thrown rider. I have lived in rattlesqanke country all my life. The farm I grew up on was close to the eastern edge of The Llano Estacado and we had plenty of them. I don't know that the location was the reason but farms farther away didn't seem to have the number of them we did. Not once have I ever seen a rattler persue a human. They will coil up and rattle but if left alone will crawl off away from you. A human is simply a danger to them. Much too large to eat. They bite to secure their food or when threatened.
Colt Sidewinder would have been a good name for their 22. Sidewinders are small snakes.

Does Colt have a warranty?
Colt does not offer an express warranty, but acknowledges implied Magnuson-Moss Act obligations. Colt products will be serviced for defects in original factory materials or workmanship to the original purchaser at no charge for one year from the date of retail purchase. Cosmetic blemishes and damage from normal wear and tear, abuse, neglect, improper ammunition, or to finishes/coatings are excluded. Be sure to retain your sales slip as proof of original purchaser and purchase date when making a claim. For service information, visit our Service page.
To me, that looks like “No.”
However, I have an old cash machine that can print sales receipts, with dates, for a very low contingency fee…

Well, maybe.
Ruger has no warranty as well, yet their customer service is second to none. If your firearm is broken, they’ll fix it.
They’ll even send back the performance parts that caused the issues…
I can’t comment on how Colt handles it, because I’m not a big revolver user, but I AM turning 44 this year...(Wink!)

I dread ever having to deal with colt customer service again. Keep the side plate screws tight and you probably won’t have to.
