Do you think CZ had something to do with this. If CZ is involved maybe these new offerings will stay in time.....

With the new lockwork they should be much better. I was never really an Anaconda fan when they came out but these should sell as well as the Pythons i'm sure.

The demand for Colts hasn't been met by supply in quite some time. They need to stock their existing models before releasing new models.

Then people will complain that Colt's just selling the same old stuff they've sold for years lol. Actually before the panic/pandemic nonsense Colt was putting out quite a few 1911's, Buds used to have a lot of them.

Yeah, I know. I have yet to see a new Python in a LGS. I haven't seen a GCNM or GCT in 4 or 5 years. I think a lot of those people weren't Colt buyers anyway.

Any word on when these will hit store shelves? I have a friend who is super stoked about this announcement.

CZ had nothing to do with this, Colt has been forging frames for the last 5 months apparently

The Pythons are tough, at my LGS they got three in a week and a half which was unusual.

I guess some people have had them for testing for over a month now.

Mine was born in 95 and after several thousand rounds absolutely no issues. Of course now that I've made that statement we all know what will happen, don't we!
It'll be all your fault!

I

have owned maybe 3 Anacondas and every one of them needed timing work. 1 was screwed when I got (knew of the issue) and it went directly to my guy. The other 2 were bought new, 1 was a real tree and the other a stainless. Both went in to be timed the Real Tree went to Colt. A couple years later it did it again and my guy fixed it and I sold it and the others.

All said and done the critical question will be whether or not CZ can straighten up that jackass union that has put out pathetically poor products and repetitively put Colt into bankruptcy.

I am leaning more towards management.

That too. I guess I am still jaded by the remarkably poor workmanship and shameless demands. Things like revolvers with chambers 1,3,and5 being aligned with each other and 2, 4, and 6 being aligned but the two sets of three not being aligned with each other.

The management angle also is important. Coming to the realization that guns in boxes sell more profitably than memories, muses, and recollections of decades past is huge.

Let's hope they have to go through a CZ quality control check before being shipped.

 

[***Ironhead***]

Haha, but it is still a colt. They have terrible craftsmanship. Made a lot of money off the snake guns I sold though.
