We should have done a group buy.

They barely make anything any more so you're just almost buying air and hope. I have faith in CZ though.

The name. CZ bought the name too.

Colt brand is iconic, it has some value.

Talk about paying for the name tdp and charcoal bluing had value in 1970.

Right...... so air and hope.

Dan Wesson already makes a significantly better 1911 than Colt. Hopefully, they bring their QC and revise the brand/name.

Like Springfield. Or Israeli Arms? Or Remington... or whomever. I don't know of many that are original and independent anymore.

This. And within a few years (possibly months?), many folks won't even realize (or remember) that Colt was bought by another company.

Just my 2¢ ...
