What would WildAlaska, and others, do if Colt stopped making 1911s? Start hoarding Colts? I was hoping it might reduce the frequency of "If it's not a Colt" drivel... but then I realized it would only make it worse.

With Colt's track record of absolutely brilliant decision making and marketing, such a thing is well within the realm of possibility.

Scary to think I actually believed Colt would do something like that...

I think my left eye actually extended past the rim of my eye socket. 
I think the last time I felt that pain in my stomach was when I heard Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed.

CZ is replacing the 75 IPSC Standard with the 75 Tactical Sports, the 40B, 40-P, and CZ 85 Compact aren't currently showing signs of additonal production although the rumor mill says that a .40 S&W chambered Compact and P-01 will be available sometime in 2005. The Compact may be a reintroduction of the 85 Compact, time will tell.
I don't really follow the other mfg. I don't have as much interest in them

Ruger P97 is not listed in the 2005 catalog.
The rest of Ruger's autopistol line looks smaller than previous years, but I haven't compared the catalogs closely to tell for sure.

Liquid Tension-- Unfortunately it is true.
Look at the HK-USA website. The P7 series is no longer listed.
The P7 series is still listed on the German website, but that one is currently under construction. I am not sure if they are still going to make P7's in Germany, but they will no longer be imported.
Very Sad. I'm glad I have three of them now, b/c they are going to be even more difficult to get now.

If I remember correctly, the P7 was not on last year's HK-USA site either.
On another note, according to the CDNN catalog on their web site the stainless slide USPCs are going away.

Here's some independent confirmation:

The HK stainless compacts will be no more. The P7M8 and the P7M13 will both end production in '05. Still another run to be completed.
Ruger has dropped the Vaquero and replaced it with the "New Vaquero" which is made on a smaller frame and avail in .45lc and .357 only. They have dropped the P97 for the P345 and all DAO semi autos in the P-series. the MKII has been replaced with the MKIII and no more Redhaws in .45LC. All Single Six .32 mags are gone as are all birdshead models. No more .22lr SP101 and no more short shroud GP100's and no more 3" blued GP100's

Checkman: Re the Convertibles, they have done it before. When they reintroduced them back around '98 I grabbed one quick. I only got to using mine within the last couple of years, but am getting to really like it.
Am not too thrilled with the NM action; had to tweak both the loading gate spring and the trigger spring, but it has now become a very good shooter. Most of my shooting with it is with the ACP cylinder as I have a lot of brass for it, but it also does well in LC. I think I paid around $290 for it at the time and it's a lot of gun for the money.
Similarly back around '93 or so they brought back the .22 auto pistol in the old 5 1/4" heavy tapered barrel that was made for only a short time in the late '50s. I jumped on one and it was just as well I did. A couple of years later it was gone again. Every now and then Ruger quietly reintroduces something and then just as quietly lets it fade back into the woodwork.
Their 50th anniversary Blackhawk is a nice development, as it the lighter Vaquero. Sounds like Bill's departure is letting some of the new Young Turks spread their wings over there.
All I know is that if you want something you have to be sudden or it may get away on you. (Learned from bitter experience.)
