You are seriously separated from reality & it's quite obvious you're not the slightest bit interested in re-joining.
Three years ago, when I talked to Brent, head of the Colt Custom Shop, at the SHOT Show in Vegas, he told me he had two bodies under him, and Brent doesn't do the work himself.
Figure the math & how that might affect Custom Shop output.
Special-order guns through that shop have been backlogged for years.
He told me he'd just been given approval to expand the CS to 10 bodies, spread out, which he's been doing.
I told you elsewhere how many he now has & is hoping to fill two more positions this month.
You continue to spout your uninformed drivel about that Shop & reject info direct FROM that Shop.
I told you elsewhere & here that regular production floor Peacemakers are built by one man.
Again, you should be able to figure out how that can & does affect output.
This is nothing new & has nothing to do with the bankruptcy.
Model P production has been low for decades, it is not a money-maker for Colt & the company keeps it on as an icon, not a profit-leader, preferring to put limited resources into other areas of greater return for the company.
The fact that you can't find one only proves zero production in your own mind.
They've been hard to find for years.
Absolutely nothing new there.
Colt let nobody go because of the bankruptcy, production & business continued as usual.
Colt's been cash-strapped for decades, which has affected their ability to expand, but has not shrunk production as such.
The high-priced and antiquated Peacemaker is also not "one of their most popular product lines".
It has been produced in low numbers for several years & the bankruptcy has neither hindered nor helped that.
Your perception of Colt could not be more wrong, and your continual nonsense about layoffs, discontinued production, "all but shuttered", "when they resume production at normal levels", and so on, is just plain BS.
