I've been dealing with DVA since 1956, and have gone through many reviews,what you get depends a lot on your advocate. never got to review with out one, and one you trust. They get a bit bent out of shape when you want a new advocate. I remember...

Key words(So long as the slide returns to battery consistently)You have a Match Target Woodsman,and 2 Norinco Knock offs ????????????????. Duker

I have owned both the Colt Woodsman (not copy) and the Ruger. The Woodsman sights are on the slide and the barrel which is inherently  inacurate, were as the Ruger sights are on a solid plane ,much better.Feeding problems are much less with the Ruger . Remember one thing , the Colt was designed...
