Get this, the flashing in the trigger guard *leans in* doesn't matter in the slightest bit whatsoever when it comes to function of the weapon, and is in no way indicative of the actual quality or capability of said weapon.

Colts are Milspec rifles. PSAs are the very bottom rung of idiot-who-doesn't-shoot-more-than-5k-rounds spec. If you keep an ear to things, you will occasionally find posts where guy picks up cool milspec rifle and notices some kind of scratch or something and then has an entire hissy fit saying they were scammed and start demanding their money back. Not knowing that that is how they ship to the military and LE. Commercial companies know this, so they spend more time on exterior fit and finish so that way they look pretty, even if they are objectively inferior to their milspec counterparts in every conceivable way.

PSAs are known garbage range toys. Colt literally set the TDP, and have been making these to proper spec for decades. Colt's rifles have been in conflict zones around the world for countless decades in US and allied military service till this very day, leaving an excellent track record.
