Those old WWII 1911’s were all clapped out.
There’s that little thing called a sonic boom above 1100.
I’d be interested in a new Detective Special.
$1,500 will buy a pretty good used Python.
The new in the box Pythons will command twice that figure.
IIRC, the army had Colt down and it was a contract with the Texas Rangers buying pistols with which to fight the Comanches that saved the company well before the Mexican War.
Sad and annoying. Colt stopped making 38 snubs. No more Cadillac python revolvers. They stopped making 380s and 32s. Now that the market is saturated they roll one out and barely produce it.
For a few years their website was difficult to find, and when you got there it was basically like a website for General Dynamics. Very clearly aimed at government.
Most sinful of all. .. their peacemakers sucked until the market was flooded with Italian clones of better quality at half the price. I love colt, but they are run by idiots, in the northeast.
Python, stainless 6”.
My favorite, next to my XD subcompact and my five-seven.
Leupold scopes are the heet. The other stuff? Apparently you’ve got the money to waste on inferior products.
Of course, but liberals often don’t know about guns beyond the fake silent noise you hear in movies or on TV.
Yep.
They’re inferior.
Never jam.
Shoot any manufacturer of ammo.
Depended upon by our military and competition shooters.
Blah, blah, blah.
However, I do have a Remington 770 and I hate that POS. Still has a Luepold on it but, I hate the chatter of the bolt, the fk’d up mag it came with, the dorky safety that I painted so I would be certain it was in safe or fire mode and it beats the hell out out of my shoulder.
Someday, I’ll get around to Mod’ing it and I guess another $600 bucks won’t be such a big deal but, I love every other gun exactly the way it came.
Why the hell do women change their looks, in hopes of being more attractive.
They’ll never be more attractive than the day I find em and I don’t need a new version.
The original was fine.
Dos Centavos.
Colt has been on the ropes for years. This is not a new development.
M1A inferior??? feh...
About a year ago went into our local pawn/gun shop and bought a .38 S&W snub nose detective special for about $300. It was in the original box with the original sales receipt from 1960’s mr C4E took it to our local gun shop for a going over and the gun guy said I had made a very good purchase.
When you’re taking regular orders from the government for M-4’s, it’s probably not too difficult to turn a profit. But you should always have a plan for what to do if or when the govt. contract ends.
Having your company headquarters in one of the most anti-gun states probably doesn’t help much either.
The M1A is inferior to the SCAR 17. I can get a SCAR with a Geissele trigger for less than the match M1A from Springfield. If you want to spend more money on older inferior technology, so be it. I’d rather upgrade to newer technology. I’m saving for a FN SCAR17 to replace my Para FAL.
bought the first one 34 years ago for $750 NIB, the second cost me a whole $1000, i don't need to upgrade to anything, you sound like a kid saving up for a new toy
Lol, wtf is your problem? The weapon was never designed for accuracy, it was designed to STOP the enemy at close range.
You KNEW that...right?
I’m US Air Force Distinguished Riflemans Badge #300.
Sell those M1A’s for a huge profit and buy a modern SCAR-17 unless you’re into shooting CMP or NRA service rifle stuff. I gave up on that game when uncle sam stopped paying for my travel and ammo.
