Never understood the idea of owning a gun and not shooting the thing. I also never understood how Colt could be a such a perpetual **** up. They screwed to pooch on the cowboy action scene where they could have had a massive following had their guns been more economical and more authentic to the original design like the Italian made guns are. They really don't have any modem semi autos (polymer frame) that are competitive with S&W, Glock, or Ruger for defensive guns. The few good designed they had in the 90s they never did anything with, or screwed up on. As far as I know, their 1911s are still good, but I can get a very good 1911 cheaper, or a better one for not much more. Their ARs where overpriced in my opinion, but nonetheless sold. They could have done a lot more in the AR market, but they let that one slip by them. They lost their military contract due to their screw ups, and the list can go on and on.
Colt is a prime example of how NOT to run a gun company. The best thing that could happen to them is for them to go bankrupt, bought out, and restarted from the ground up.
