As I recollect, CZ used to make a .40 1911. I approve of almost anything CZ does. Better than Fiat purchasing Chrysler!
yes, more as if Honda bought Chrysler

They brought them back, saw they weren't a big seller and weren't worth the space on the production line. A business will not keep a product in production that doesn't sell.and then discontinued them...
Dan Wesson doesn't have the market share and brand recognition like S&W, Colt, and Ruger. A Dan Wesson gun was expensive, had a different cylinder release that didn't lend itself to being a "defensive" or "duty" gun, and was usually larger and bulky. CZ brought them back to see if the loud voices in the gun market clamoring for them would actually would buy them. They didn't sell, so CZ shuttered the line.And this may be why.
Perhaps they only want one big stainless revolver in the stable and the Python won.....
IDK, I suppose I feel like it is more of the traditional America being sold away. Just like Chrysler was sold to the Germans then given to the Italians or the collapse of Remington.
On the other hand, if the CZ merger brings Colt back to its glory days then its a good thing.
How many more brands are we going to lose to multi-nationals?
How many are left? It’ll accelerate now.How many more brands are we going to lose to multi-nationals?
Fingers crossed they bring back the Colt American. And the Double Eagle.
It seems to me they were already lost. If anything, this may be a rescue.How many more brands are we going to lose to multi-nationals?
On the stuff they actually makeCZ = good quality
one word explanation: unionsBe hard for new owner to do worse than repeated bankruptcy during times of record gun sales.
Colt has been in need of adult supervision for a LONG time.Be hard for new owner to do worse than repeated bankruptcy during times of record gun sales.
attempting to purchase
and then discontinued them...
Will Colt firearms no longer be made in the USA ?
