USFA guns are built to MUCH better tolerances and finish levels than Colts. In terms of tolerances, a USFA is built like a Freedom Arms Revolver .Colt's chamber throating and barrel dimensions are truly [bleep]. USAs are not.

If you are going to shoot 3"+ groups at 25 yards with sloppily loaded 45 Colt ammo, then the Colt will do you just fine.

If you want a truly ACCURATE revolver, buy the USFA.
