Interesting questions and discussion. I thought Gunny's reference to the comment about the aging actress was spot on. I was glad to see bassjam comment. His comments are consistent with what I observed while working with Millennials. They had little interest in guns in general, and displayed no interest in revolvers at all. And they were paid to carry guns.
As to Colt reintroducing those venerable revolvers, the Woodsman, etc., I just don't see it being practical, or profitable if it was ever attempted. If a "new" Python were introduced, would it have to be similar in price to the Nighthawk version of the Korth revolvers? I suspect so. The Nighthawk Korths appear to be very nice revolvers, but I wonder how many $3000.00+ Nighthawk Korths are sold per year, compared to the most expensive S&W or Ruger revolvers? Semi-autos, usually of the plastic type, seem to be very much the wave of the future. In fact, there seems to be a race to the bottom with this plethora of weird looking, to me at least, inexpensive plastic guns. For example, Ruger's new plastic pistol entry with an MSRP of $379, and it's even cheaper plastic competitors. I like Colts, and hope Colt survives as a US firearms manufacturer. But I don't think attempted reintroduction of some version of those beautiful old classic Colts is the answer........ymmv
