That's right folks, those purveyors of overpriced crapola stamped with a prancing pony are discontinuing the 1991s, pythons and other DA revolvers, as well as their other semis. They will only make single action revolvers and high end 1911s. This has been posted at Glock Talk under general non-glocking. The post included a copy of the Fax dated 10/5/99 on Colt letterhead stationary. The original sight has been referenced from the GT sight and linked as well.
It appears genuine, but I'd call Colt for further info. This means they will either retool for CNC for the discontinued guns, or are in such bad shape that they must discontinue money losers to stay afloat. I have a Python in Hartford now and will ask the repair shop guys tomorrow. Also, the top dogs have been reshuffled. Sliwa out, Keys in.
