Double down?
Well you said you like and trust him. Maybe this one will be something he won't needs parts for so it can get done faster?

What do you mean "disassembles itself while firing"? I have owned several HP's and still do. To this day, I have never seen one come apart. Have you taken it apart and made sure that it was put back together correctly? It just seems odd. As for gunsmiths in this area, the above names are all that I know. I'm not sure if Mike Cyrus works on HP's at all, but I don't think so. He is great at what he does, but he seems to stick to a few specific platforms. Also, he used to have a pretty good waiting list. He goes by Ol Yeller on the site, maybe he can point you in the right decision.
I was a general gunsmith for 20+ years. Old parts are hard to find. All people brought me was the old ones nobody else wanted to work on and they wanted next day service. Ha-Ha! If you can get a list of the exact parts and model/variation of the colt, I'll look thru my parts cabinets. As far as FEG parts that would be a toughee.
On both guns you might look at gunbroker for parts kits where they sell you everything but the receiver. sometimes they go pretty cheap compared to ordering 2 or 3 parts.

Meaning the retainer/slide stop pin ejected itself while firing and the slide came about 3/4 of the way off of the frame. The safety has not worked since day 1. It was a surplus buy off of classic firearms. I'm not into it a whole lot. It could have been disassembled wrong by yours truly, but that doesn't explain the safety. It (the safety) moves up and down, but it doesn't stop the gun from firing.
I don't shoot that gun much.
Still need to find a gunsmith that can work on my revolver. Black Label Armament contacted me and let me know that I could come pick it up and that they could not fix it.
I will check them out if I can. Any more 'smiths you folks would recommend?
jk Williams was the gunsmith at outdoor America and a stand up guy. I played ball and went to school with his son. Since they closed he moved to a gun shop in Yukon called Henry's Guns 405-494-1318
hes worked on several guns for my dad including an old Makarov and colt detective revolver and also a Remington 700 for me. you could not ask for better quality work. It is worth a shot calling and at least talking to him about the gun to see what he says.
