I hope they do well, and Colt introduce's other model's. I own 3 Colt DA , and 2 SAA's. I understand that their not made to compete with the original Colt da's., but I'm afraid , thats what's going to happen.
I read all the above, and I hope the people who buy it cause it's a colt, won't regret that decision.
As an example, at one time I owned 3 SAA's. All 44/40, I wanted a .45, but the day's of finding a good deal, were long gone. A new SAA, was IIRC, $1050.00. Well, I was excited when I found out that Colt was making a real Colt made version of a SAA, called the Cowboy, same outward look of a SAA. but totally Diff. inside. Had some sort of transfer safety, and ( I think ) coil spring's. Ordered one, and it was a pretty rough gun, It had colt on it sure, but it was a disapointment. didn't keep it long, and sold it to a Bud, who also didn't keep it long.
Long story short, I hope the new DA. does better than the Colt Cowboy did.
