The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - I Don't Think I Buy The "Too Expensive To Make Colt DA Revolvers" Arguement Anymore

I think Colt is happy with their current place in the market. Most shops have a small selection (if any) of Colts, and that has a way of driving up the prices. They have always seemed to prefer the law enforcement/military contracts as well, and there isn't much of a market for revolvers in either area anymore. I don't see Colt ever moving firearms in the same volume as Ruger/S&W, and that certainly wouldn't help their decision to jump back into making DA revolvers.
