As I've posted elsewhere, I am looking at purchashing my first 1911. One of the things that has driven me to this decision is the sheer pleasure I get from firing my Father In Laws early 60s Government Model (with some significant smithing compliments of the US Army Marksmanship armorers).
However, Colt no longer seems to be the leader in 1911 sales. As I've been trying to find out why (as well as ascertain whether its worth my time to purchase a Colt over a Kimber or Para Ordnance or Springfield, etc), I came across a rather shocking discussion of Colt's problems at Wikipedia.
How has Colt set out to resolve these problems? Are they still owned by the Commie Mommies, the state of Connecticut, the UAW and well connected Democrats, all of whom want to take away my guns??? Are they still basing future business growth on the advent of smart gun technology? Or have they seen the error of their ways and attoned for their sins during the Clinton Administration like Smith and Wesson has? Have they ejected their former management? Has the quality of their guns improved? Are they still abiding by the conssent decree the Clinton Administration tried to force on gun manufacturers?
