​COLT: back on it's feet

The Colt Scamp select fire machine pistol circa 1969

This is outstanding news! Apparently, Colt is receiving a $23M investment to not only keep the doors open but add 100 employees for a total of 700 exemplary American jobs. Someone with vision has stepped in obviously, now let's hope that extends to their product lineup too. Personally I'd like to see the Python make a comeback, and a beautiful high polished blue 70 series 1911 without all the bells and whistles but in pure and classic configuration, and a couple of entirely new, innovative designs (or revived items from their archives such as the Scamp in semi-auto 9mm with a pistol brace) to reinvigorate the brand and show everyone who's the original kid on the block. Colt is such an icon that I doubt the firearm (or popular culture) world would be quite the same were it to be mothballed - so a big thanks to the folks who coughed up the money to take it off life support. Apparently the resuscitation will be funded partly by a Dept of Economic and Community Development combined seemingly with a chunk of public money from CT taxpayers. Praise Thor, there is a gun-god afterall!
