Return to “Iconic gunmaker Colt is on the brink of bankruptcy”
Andy, I am glad that you can cross the Colt off of your bucket list.AndyC wrote:Be that as it may, I just purchased a new series 80-style (yes, I know) Colt 1911 last night - probably because I'm 50 years old now and have never owned a Colt and it's about time before I die.
I'm going to be removing the offending fire-control parts and replacing the long plastic trigger with a John Harrison medium-length trigger.
That is the point. During their best period, Colt built the best quality handguns on the market. Since then, their quality has not kept up with the competition.winters wrote:Being a 1911 type of guy I never saw anything great about colts 1911's. They are all run of the mill average to me. Their is so many more better built 1911's then colts. I know people will say its not a 1911 unless its a colt but other companies have a much better product.
Colt has been in poor financial shape for many years.SA_Steve wrote:Gotta wonder how this can be. Too much borrowing over the years? Executives bleeding all the cash flow ?
