All they need do is bring back the Python, Diamondback, and a few other long defunct DA revolvers, and the sales surge would bring them out of debt in a couple of months.....

I think you are underestimating the cost. New Pythons and Diamondbacks could easily be in the $2k to $4k range and even then, they may not be equivalent to the originals.

Ditto...My earlier post was intended to be "tongue in cheek" after the recent posts by those clamoring for the return of the old Colt DA revolvers to save the day and make millions for the company.....

.........The Cowboy, when it was in production, WAS the equivalent of what you're asking for, and it didn't sell well enough to stay in the line-up.........

As was the Python, Diamondback, Cobra, Anaconda, King Cobra, Viper, etc., etc., etc.....
Dpris is absolutely right. None of these guns could compete with the offerings of other companies in the open market and the design could not be made to compete, even with cnc equipment investments. If the market was there, they would still be in production. Even the cheapened MKIII and MKV designs where rapidly overwhelmed by the competition offering modern designs and pricing. The Colt name alone, does not justify overpriced products to a large enough block of consumers....Most shooters want the most bang for the buck and Colt's "bang" required too many "bucks".
