I picture it would be hard to do so if they come out of this dark period with a shitty product? Maybe the tribe will prop the company up for stock, then quickly sell it...
The parent company is in Hartford, Connecticut. Nope, they didn't move to Florida. They are stuck with high wages, high pensions, high taxes, high rent or land ownership......And their ar's and 1911's are no better than MUCH less expensive ones. Not to mention they stopped producing some great revolvers, like the Python. If they started the revolvers again I wouldn't bother, Dan Wesson has beautiful revolvers.......cheaper. Colt is like having a boat, a hole in the water where you throw money.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!
