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.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

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.
