Per your logic in various Python threads, shouldn't these guns be horrible - since Colt stopped making them, after all?
Not the point. Here is the explanation for the 1000th time - my comments about the Python being discontinued are in reference to it being billed as the best of all time, and surely, when you have something that is the best of all time, you don't discontinue it unless perhaps, its NOT actually the best. Of course there were manufacturing issues at play, but when you have the best, you find a solution. The best is something very hard to get, and as a gun maker, you cannot ignore that, if its true.

None of that applies to the Colt 1903, since no one calls it the best pocket pistol of all time, as there are so many other great choices. I much prefer the Remington 51 myself.
