..... why not give Colt the opportunity to address these so-called issues?.....
I hope they do get this mess fixed. It would be the best for all concerned. Even for those who don't want to believe there is one.

Gimme a break. It was a generalization. Pay attention to my wording. I didn't say that everyone on YouTube was a moron. I've been at this a long time and firmly believe in precision of language. I don't do snide, subtle or passive-aggressive. If I'm gonna call Hickok a moron, as long as it isn't contrary to the rules of THR, there won't be any ambiguity. You seem to be all about getting bent completely out of shape about everything.Then you need to be more "choosy" when you start calling people, "You Tube morons". If you stop lumping everyone into the same derogatory category, who have all had issues with this POS, it won't take you 3 paragraphs to explain your way out of it.
Which is fine but he's a YouTube celebrity, which in no way puts him on the level with proper shooting industry journalists. People who have poured their entire adult life into it, with their ACTUAL name on the line with every word they write. It's really a damned shame that someone who just makes entertaining videos can make a better living than actual gun writers but such is the world we live in today. The world that gave us Justin Bieber and the Kardashians.
This quote in the interview you posted made me drool a little bit, “and we also heard the name “Anaconda” get mentioned.”
That makes sense. Honestly, I just love .44mag but would download it a bit for anything but my Ruger SBH.
Anaconda or Python....one day I am going to have one of them..
it was originally posted on Colt forum, in the topic "Python 2020", and later it was discovered that the profile was fake (user was NOT a Colt representative) and the said letter was a fake one also. This discussion, right here on the THR, proves one more time the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln, that:As far as the alleged "letter" from Colt, still not been verified that it's not a fake.
Even further, it is mentioned by name for the Buffalo Bore 340gr +P+ load. Which is approaching 50,000psi.You won't hurt an Anaconda with any published loads.

These gun writers are paid far more than any of them are worth. Even Garry James admitted in several conversations, that gun writers feel enormous pressure from their advertisers. How in the hell are you going to get any type of honest, objective evaluation on ANY gun with that financial monkey hanging on your back? You're not. And I don't give a damn what they know, or think they know.
It's not intellectually honest to lump all gunwriters together.
The origin of that letter is from coltforum.com and it was exposed as fake later in the same thread - "Python 2020".
The hell it isn't true. Besides it doesn't matter. You're not going to get an honest evaluation out of ANY of them. I don't give a damn who they are, or who they write for.
"Reporters and editors say that reviews are often written in close consultation with manufacturers. If a gun is judged to be of poor quality, magazines will quietly send it back for improvements rather than writing a negative review. The system is broadly accepted at these publications, gun writers say."
If that's how you like to get your information on firearms, be my guest.
So you’re basically calling me a liar.

Look here also - thread specific to debunking of the "Colt letter".
P.S. Copy & paste of parts of the text is all I did in Google and it showed up as the top results... I'm done with this.
.......I'm not doing this for you, but for the other forum members who might be fooled from the false claims and exaggerations you make.
