The design and parts were rejected by Colt, and then Irving Johnson bought the design and existing parts from Colt.

We found out that these FI-Model D’s with CPA in the serial number were built for Colt, and they were intended to be the Colt Pony. While waiting for the right extractor to come in the owner and I started to heavily research this pistol. So I ordered one from Numrich three times if that tells you anything. After that I went to the extractor which I knew was bad, and unrepairable. I slightly ramped and chamfered the chamber, and polished the chamber of the barrel. I first checked the extractor, feed ramps, and chamber of the barrel like any other gunsmith would probably do. 380 pistol I approached it like any other gun with feeding and jamming problems. Being unfamiliar with the history of this. I first encountered the FI-Model D with a CPA serial number a couple of months ago when a client brought it in for function problems.
