The reason for no maker bothering to make one of the old Colt DA revolvers, such as the '78 Alaskan or the Lightning/Thunderer, might be because these were two of the worst designed revolvers ever made by Colt. The Lightning/Thunderer has its bolt stop notches at the rear of the cylinder, and was very sensitive to any dirt/fouling getting into them. The Alaskan was infamous for having a better trigger in DA mode than in SA...when it worked.
