LOL! That's hilarious. Now maybe Colt has a future that doesn't include bankruptcies ever few years. CZ is a global powerhouse in military contracts.

Don't forget, CZ owns Dan Wesson. And they kept production in the US. AND they brought back the revolver.

Much much much better company than Colt ever was. Now maybe snake revolvers will become a "thing" again.

I'm betting this will be a great thing for Colt !!
It's sad to say but due to mismanagement they lost their direction years ago and have been struggling ever since.

Your probably spot on. However its still sad. I am glad to own a couple of older versions. they will be good to have now for sure. I can say I have American company owned Colt...pre buyout.

Doesn't really mean anything but I can say it.

Well....I think it’s a good move on both parties side. CZ can expand their “American” line and Colt will stay in business. I know quality will definitely go up now.

I think so too, Bro. Just look at Dan Wesson. (The gun company, I think the man be dead.)

Agreed on that! Colt's Quality hasn't been Top Shelf for a while now! Dan Wesson though, has been. So all in all, I think this is a Positive Move!
