Did Colt Stop Making "The Cowboy" Revolver?

I think that Beretta's acquisition of Uberti may have kicked a dent in Colt's marketing plans.

A friend calls the new Beretta corp. (strengthened by its acquisition of Benelli and Uberti, among others,) "Uberetta." :D
 
If they did, it was only a matter of time. US Firearms make a clone in the ORIGINAL building from ORIGINAL equipment from the ORIGINAL specs at about 1/3 the price. You do the math. ;) :D
 
None of the original manufacturers "got" the cowboy market really well. $1500 Schofields that only come in .45 schofield competing against $600-800 italian clones in .45 colt or .44/40 with a choice of barrel length. Colt SAAs that cost $1500 and still need smith work to be acceptable competing with reproductions costing a third of that and shooting well out of the box. I'm not even including competition from Ruger...

I shot a Colt Cowboy once. My range had it as a rental cause nobody is buying. It had sharp corners and it suffered from chronic light strikes.
 
I think between the QC problems and the transfer bar that a lot
of shooters did not take to them very much.MrAcheson how do
you get that $1500.00 figure.I see NIB Colt Saa going for under
a $1000.00 to the low $1100.00.I shoot new ones and ones over
a 100yrs old with original parts and never have a problem.No
Italian clone will ever last that long.Not trying to start something
here just stating my opinion as I respect yours also.
