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.

It brings the value up. It also means, to us snobs, that it’s no longer an American owned company.

Yes it is, but, hopefully they'll get back to what they were in their prime under CZ's direction, sadly, they were not doing so on their own.

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.
