Jager Dakotas are stout. Get inside one, you’ll see stout trigger, stout hand, stout bolt. If they are to be avoided its for practicality sake. For CAS if you break a bolt or hand spring you’d be hard pressed to find parts. It’s not quite “true to Colt” and they have been out of production for more than 20 years.
There's alot of context to understand about what ASM was building in the 90's. Notwithstanding some very nice guns from them, the reputation problem is real. They built the "New Dakota", which is not as nice as the Hartford.
