What would you pick, and why? Colt? Does the frame have an insert at the feed ramp? Ruger? Does it take aftermarket parts readily? Springfield Armory? Smith &Wesson? How is that scandium? Series 70 vs 80 firing mechanism? External extractor issues with the pin walking into the frame? Considering getting another LW. Currently have a Para Expert LW.
