Huh? How is that going to happen? Less than $1K is a 4" SS GP100.For me, I won't even consider it until its a 4" SS for less than $1K.
amenNo. I don't put Colt up on a pedestal like some.
... saw what used pieces were fetching, and didn't like that they weren't reaping any benefits, ie: $$$. They've seen that theres a market for premium revolvers and wanted in. A smart move, IMO, pricing it below a used piece but still high enough to give the owner bragging-rights.Colt is well aware of the market
I have not read into what differences there will be from the old ones,
I didn't know about the internal changes. But a friend bought one and his FFL thought he'd just gotten a deal on an incredibly fresh used gun so I'm guessing any exterior changes are for the trained eye only.Sounds like a major redesign of the internals with 14 fewer parts.
Absolutely nothing, IMO. They're cool and all, but I don't have the kind of scratch that buys much in the way of cool points. I'll pay for quality, but if I can get comparable quality for considerably less that's the route I'm taking. I think a Ruger Six-series is pretty cool and cost much less... they have their own stories to tell.Neat, I grant, but what does it really do better than my other wheelguns?
Thing is, the new snake will have to perform. Colt LLC has done what many thought would never occur. I say give them some time to put it right. There are few S&W, Rugers etc. which have the same lockwork and dimensions as they originally did. Manufacturing technology and metallurgy have both improved and the new gun, once perfected, should be a worthy heir to the throne.
Sure, it would be great to see a $750 price tag, but that is fantasy. Or $1K. Face it: the gun has panache. Iconic handguns include the Single Action Army, the 1911, the S&W 29 and the Python. Look at the price that folks are lining up to pay for 1911 clones! $2K to $3K. AYKM?
Give Colt a break - in this increasingly oppressive anti-gun culture, they really need one. Like Remington. Distilled to its essence it is...
Don't like it? Don't buy one!
