Colt is going the way of the LGS that won't adapt with the times. Adapt to the newer, younger market who don't place a premium on the littly pony or you will surely perish. I forgot to count the number of Colt plastic wonder nines out there. How about the total amount of plastic anything out there? I gues it's a passing fad, right?
No R&D for the general population will mean no sales to the general population. They decided to leave the average Joe out of their marketing plans 25 years ago and it took a generation to make them feel it in their pocketbooks. This is 100% Colt's fault for not seeing the need to adapt and change for the younger generation of gun buyers.
Those willing to pay for the pony are mostly done buying new guns that they own several of already. Why buy anothe Colt 1911? What did they do to it to make it more desirable than the one or three already in their safe? Like the LGS, Colt refuses to change with the times and will be sold to a Cerberus type company who will bastardize the name and pony. You reap what you sow and Colt is doing just that.
