For those who say Colt made all of their money on government contracts and did not care if they sold to civilians.
Colt MFG and Colt Defense were 2 separate companies until last year.
So Colt Defense only always sold to the military and law enforcement.
Colt MFG has always only sold to the private sector.
They have merged last year with Colt Defense acquiring Colt MFG. Colt MFG is in the black while Colt Defense did suffer from FN copying their M4 and selling it cheaper to the government but they still pay Colt royalties.
Colt made ground when the US Marines MARSOC adopted the M45A1.
There are a lot of Colt haters and I cannot quite figure out why. Many say that they do not introduce new innovations and yet Glock builds the same thing over and over and people fall at their feet. I do like Glocks so there is that.
Ruger is at a 47% loss of profits this quarter as are a few other manufactures.
For the Colt haters, think of that old American company that has done a lot for this country. They build the finest production Government Model but I understand some do not want to pay for the quality of the materials used to build the gun or the workmanship.
As far as reintroducing the snake guns, to produce those revolvers today, at the level of quality people would expect they would be priced out of the market.
