OK, I called Colt to order a Recoil Spring Cap for my Defender. The lady says she only sees a Recoil Spring Plug for a Series 80 pistol. I tell her that both schematics are in my Colt book that came with my Defender and that they are two different parts and that the Defender is a Series 90 pistol. Long story short she sees the same part on the series 80 schematic and sends it anyway thinking it is the same. I get them and call her back and can't get it through her head that they are two different things. I cannot find the actual part number for this damn thing anywhere so I can give it to her. It is part number 14 in the schematic of the Defender (she sent me #39 from the series 80 schematic). Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, |
Well, where do you want to start ? The difference in barrel length ? Govt.=5" Defender=3" Barrel Govt. has bushing Defender does not. (Bull) Recoil Spring Govt has 1 Defender has two Govt. has a "cap" that goes over the recoil spring while the Defender has more of a shaft with a disk on the end (recoil spring guide rod) that fits inside the recoil spring cap which is all part of the double recoil spring setup.
