Well, shoot. I don't much care about the ARs, my Daniel Defense does everything a 6920 does, as do a number of other brands. The AR market got super competitive in recent years and while the 6920 is awesome, it no longer stands alone as a squared-away AR at a reasonable price.
But I really would have liked a proper Colt Government Model 1911 and I still am not quite in a financial place to make that happen.
I hope they hang on long enough for me to grab a Series 70 reissue.
I tend to agree with the posters before me, though. Colt spent a number of years not trying to compete. Why no research and development on a service gun to compete with Smith, Glock, Beretta, and Sig? They certainly have the brand-name cachet to get attention.
The Colt name is still a very powerful one in terms of marketing. I am afraid they're going to be bought up by someone who will make junk on their name
