re: Colt's Finally Going Under ??

Colt really failed to understand the market. I have a colt Ar15 and don't get me wrong it's good but nowadays BCM, LMT and DD are all in the price range and offer much more better value and configurations. When you have a company that snubbed it's nose at the civilian market and allowed competitors to spring up and offer products equal to or better for the same money, that company is in trouble.

And that's just the Ar15. Look at how many M1911s are on the market today that would be some ones first choice in 1911s.

Then where is their pistols in the polymer pistol category? Smight & Wesson has a great line put and no real competition from Colt.

It's on and on and tragic that such a great name has fallen to almost obscurity.

What Colt needs to do is get hot and heavy on new Ar15s, produce a line of polymer pistols much like Smith & Wesson has done and work on the 1911s more. Make a gun that isn't an alternative but the standard. I'd like see such a storied company stay in business and produce desirable firearms.
