Am I reading correctly $2,250 per pistol? Do you think Colt can build them for this price?
This is where our tax dollars go.
Outrageous!
Probably right. Overcharging the government is an old Colt tradition. During the Civil War, Colt was charging $20.00 for a .44 Army. Remington charged them with ‘price gouging’ and sold their 1858 New Army .44 Revolvers (which was superior to the Colt thanks to the top strap and notch safty) to the government for $12.00 (I think). Forcing Colt to drop their price to $15.00.
