Thanks for the message Michael, BUT.........

Well you can buy a S&W or a Remington or the new sweet Ruger 1911.

I would buy one of those over a Colt anyday anyway.

As I said Colt still is not in my good graces.

They said for us gun buyers to go to he&&, that they won't sell guns to us. That wasn't to many years ago that that happened. Now that all of their easy money has dried up they are trying to get us to buy from them again, no thank you.

I'll stick with my old colts I have and I WON'T buy anything new from them.

Actually what they are saying is that if you don't respect your gun rights enough to get control of that bunch of liberal crooks you've elected you don't deserve a new Colt.
No one who takes their 2A rights seriously can really argue with them, it's the same as asking why Gun companies continue to support states that hate them, like Ma, Ca, NY, NJ, etc.

As I said before, I applaud gun companies who've refused to comply with their demands on Beacon Hill!  It's not about public safety, it's about money and control!

We have ample firearms available here to protect ourselves!  Sure, I'd love to have unlimited access but that's not going to happen unless the heavens open up and rain down right thinking conservatives to "Occupy" the state house!

It's even more venal than that Tim.
If it were about "control" there would be more sense to it, and stiffer sentences for the minority types busted in Mattapan, Dorchester, and Roxbury with illegal guns.
Instead it is about money and patronage, "Gun Control" was just a trendy excuse to establish yet another bureaucracy staffed by relatives and campaign donors at the expense of the tax payer .
Just like the MTA.

No argument from me Tom....

I wonder if I could get one of those 70K/year "Toll Taker" jobs on the MA Pike?  I believe I can still make change of a dollar without too much thought!

I'm so glad that I can say that I'm NOT from MA but have just been sentenced to live here for the time being!  It's absolutely astonishing to listen to locals who believe that "well, that's the way it's always been"!

Apathetic fools!

They're only telling the simple truth.
There was a reason the Revolution began in Ma. and it was not because the people were any more rebellious than else where.
It was because the politicians were more abusive of their powers than in States like NH or Ct.

I still believe that if Colt had a larger market here, they would try harder to sell guns.  They've just announced five new rifles for the California markets.  Colt is a shadow of what it once was but they're still a company trying to make a profit.

Ever since the days when Sam was running it Colt has always been more focused on big military contracts than on catering to the desires of civilian shooters.
Their CS is better than HK but the mind set is similar.

That's the truth, I need a front sight blade for my King Cobra and colt refuses to sell me one.They want me to ship the gun to them for replacement .I'll make one myself before I send it to them.

Brownell's or Midway will be happy to sell you a replacement.
You don't need to go with Colt, I'm sure Tru Glo or any of the other aftermarket sight makers would have something the same or better.
