Yes, thanks Dfariswheel for your addition. Another professional point of view is always appreciated.

This explains why most Colts displayed here these days seem to be safe queens. The guys who can work on them are all retired!

It is a shame that Colt cannot see fit to gear up for production of DA revolvers again. They'd make a killing.

A prime example would be Festool power tools. They're German-made, but they cut no corners. Their new Kapex miter saw is $1300, and people are lining up to pay that for them.
