Things Not Looking Good For Colt

BREAKING: Colt Lays Off Custom Shop Director, Other Employees, Company Rumored Gutted - The Firearm Blog

This is the first I've seen about this. Colt has been getting pretty positive press lately and it had seemed like they were bouncing back after the bankruptcy.

If they couldn't make it during the boom years of the obummer presidency they are in for a world of hurt now.

To many choices and Colt isn't at the top of anything anymore.

Someone at the other place assured me that Colt was at the top of their game a few years back and that Darth was just wrong again by saying it's not looking good.

They never appealed to me. Older stuff yeah. But brand new now..naaah.

I agree with all above comments. They have been in and out of bankruptcy a few times. While I like thier guns, but they are expensive and I feel for the price other guns are built better. I think they have just rode thier name for years.

Colt will never go away. The company will be bankrupted and sold off. Someone out there will purchase the naming rights and make rifles and 1911s. Whether they will be good quality is another story.
