Welcome news, but why they stay in an anti-gun state, is beyond me.

Malloy will try to force Colt into manufacturing unicorns and rainbows. Instead of firearms.

Funny - the year after Malloy pushed his "SAFE" Act (gun control) through, Konnecticut lost several gun makers and machine shops in the supply chain.
Malloy said: "good, we don't want those types of industries in Connecticut anyway."

Now he's paying a gun-maker to stay. What a putz.

So, the Gov wants Colt to make guns, but just doesn’t want anyone to buy them?

They must be expecting to sell some of those new revolvers.

I reside in the State of Connecticut and I’m happy that Colt’s Patent Firearms has returned from bankruptcy but since Connecticut is an Anti-Second Amendment state I will not be buying any of their products.

I’ll buy a weapon made by any company as long as they are not headquartered here in Connecticut.

They aren’t making anything I want to buy at a price I want to pay. And they’re staying in Connecticut. Shame that.

I always get a kick out of the notion that Colt is some sacred entity that has remained intact and unbroken since the dawn of time. In firearms circles, it doesn't seem to matter if the original owners died off or sold out, or if the business is reorganized a dozen times, or if the name (and/or assets) changes hands every ten years, or if they become a gunmaking pimple on some multinatcorp's butt… somehow it is still the same historic company that some entrepreneur founded back in "X." It has been re-handled twelve times and re-headed twice since he died, but it's still Great-Grandpa's axe, dammit!

Well, "today's Colt" sounds like they have chosen to stay in the land of Lord Malloy, so I would imagine they will ask "how high?" when he tells them to jump, be it "smart guns" or whatever the latest wedge the hoplophobes can come up with.

Sounds like they suffer from mis-management.

They make guns that are pretty illegal in their own state. What a shame.

The last 8 years, how could Colt have declared bankruptcy?

Obama was the Gun Salesman of the Decade.

World-class example of wishful thinking.
