The story I heard (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure you will): colt produced 8 and for testing or the government using 5 shooters, a bucket of water and 2 guys reloading.
Shooters would empty a magazine and drop the gun in the bucket of water and pick up the next loaded gun. The reloader a would pull the gun out of the water, reload it and hand it back to a shooter. So on and so forth until they expended 5000 rounds all without a jam.
Is this true or a fairy tale?
Either way, what would that piece set a fella back for?

I have heard something similar before. There were at least 5 guns tested, and s/n 5 completed the 6000 round endurance test.
S/N 2 was used to mold the first holsters for the army.
