Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I'm thinking about retiring the 3 Colts that I use for CAS, I also have one unfired. I can use Uberti's until I see what happens. Methinks the prices on existing Colts are going to go waaaaay up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry T Harrison Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Darn corrective spell check It will probably be a pretty nice gun but it be a CZ not a Colt. The only thing left of Colt is the name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing left of Colt is the name Clearly, I don't know what CZ's plans are for Colt, but if the firearm is made in the same factory, utilizing the same tooling, by mostly the same people (I'm hoping they add jobs), and called the same name, how is it so different based on what the parent company is called or where they are located? I can see arguments about Winchester, with Browning (Herstal) licensing the name, and none of them being produced in the U.S. that I am aware of, opting for Turkey, Portugal and Japan instead.

I agree Doc, but in the minds of Colt collectors they won't be the same. This is good for us Colt owners!!! $$$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one I bought in the summer that is unfired, I think I’ll keep that one unfired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who owns the stock shares won't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper liked the CZ75 when they couldn't be imported into the US. I have a CZ85 (Ambi 75) and it is a tack driver. For me it's very ergonomic as opposed to Glocks due to grip angle grip angle. P.S. I also have a CZ452 Silhouette which has a synthetic stock scope ring mounting groves. This rifle groups 1 MOA at 100 yards. I bought after researching silhouette shooting. It was recommended as the best value; because, its' performance was equal to Winchester & Remington rifles costing twice as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
