Colts are good quality but they lost a lot of their lustre since the 80s and they went into a real downward spiral - I guess the MBAs were running the place and pretty much ignored the demands of the market. This monolithic silence allowed the rise of the big-name custom builders ie Baer, Wilson, etc, and decent mainstream brands with great custom options such as Springfield Armory.
Colt still haven't regained the legendary status of their original Mark IV Series 70 - despite their reintroduction of the Series 70 line.
