Okay. This is a continuation thread that jumped off the tracks of welcoming Cindy from Colt.
Add to the wish list of what we would like to see Colt produce.
In the regular catalog: I would like to see: one caliber only, .45 ACP; one action, single; three models, Government, Commander, Officers; four finishes of parkerized, bright blue, satin stainless, bright stainless; two frame compositions, carbon and stainless only, no aluminum or polymer; one sight, fixed; capacity, single-stack
seven. Also, no more skeletonized hammers, skeletonized triggers, jumbo-sized beavertails, or bell-bottomed-trouser-looking magazine wells.
I agree with Mr. Chambers on a point. Just like Colt recently reissued the M1911A1 in a limited-edition Custom Shop run, on ocassion, perhaps once per year, they should produce a blast from the past. Maybe they could alternate--autoloader one year and revolver the next. Colt could reach back into its history and rivive the Officers Model revolver, the 1905, the 1911, the Official Police, the Police Positive, the Agent, the Detective Special, the Double Eagle, the Delta Elite, the All American 2000...you name it. Again, these should be once-in-a-blue-moon, small-batch runs, nothing that is a constant to be found in their catalog of mainstay products.
By the way, I am referring to autoloader catalog offerings. Mainstay rifles and revolvers are another matter.
