A recent link ( http://members.aol.com/lmanwebdesign/ColtTour.html ) by dferriswheel, outlining a factory tour, hit home to me just how difficult it must be to survive in todays business climate. While there is nothing I would like more than for the Colt factory to 'live long and prosper', the last new Colt I bought was 6 or 7 years ago(a SAA), today with the demise of the Python, there is nothing that Colt produces that has any interest to me. My quess is and I could be very wrong, the only new Colt product forum members are likely to buy is a factory letter.
