I’m ok with this if they triple capacity or if a white knight emerges.

CZ makes great guns, hopefully if it goes through they can help bring Colt back.

Czech Republic probably has more liberty than we do at this point. They deserve Colt. At least the Czechs stood up to fight the commies who took over their country, even if they didn’t win.

Anything to get Democrat liberals out of our gun business is GOOD!

Given the Nutmeg State's attitude toward the 2nd Amendment I hope this Czech firm moves *everything* to the Czech Republic.Karma's a *****!

CZ might want to get Colt totally out of CT if it isn’t already. CT isn’t exactly free-enterprise friendly. In fact, the state isn’t all that friendly to people who live there.

Hopefully they can bring Colt’s quality back up to snuff. It will be interesting to see how they integrate the Colt Gov’t models into the line as CZ-USA already owns Dan Wesson and produces some very nice, high end 1911A1 based platforms.

“Best Mouse Pointer ever! “

All I see is my windows mouse pointer

Can you capture what you see or tell us what app or page you see it on.

Maybe even post an image of it here in the thread.

Thanks.

I own a CZ 75 SP-01. Fine gun. If CZ can bring that kind of quality to Colt, awesome.
