    I’ve read about that pistol before, but this is my first time hearing about it here. I’ll start a thread; I previously assumed there was no interest here. It looks very appealing, particularly the compact model. No one I know has seen one in the wild yet, including my local cop shop that has had a $&@€pile of them on order since, like....forever.

    Feel free to start a new thread about it in this forum. We have a pretty good crew that tends to post here, and we are a little more open to ideas or at least not as strict as some of the board posting rules.

    I read that, but to be fair, until a new management team is ready I would expect them to ease into everything. I can't see anyway they would want to not merge factories and production capabilities.

    Merging production facilities is obvious, but as long as the current Colt mismanagement and anti-gun siting are maintained they're hamstrung. OTOH, they kinda do need to make nice through the honeymoon phase until the regulatory approvals are in and they can get more astute people into position... disgruntled personnel have a certain way of sabotaging things on their way out the door, so sometimes some of them really do need to be Pearl Harbored with the severance.

    I'm personally more interested in what Colt/CZ might do with handguns personally. That said, Colt made some interesting rifles in the past that were fairly interesting, so who knows.

    I agree with OP in that I'd like to see the top brass gone. Perhaps they're around just to answer questions for the next 6 months to a year.

    Not so much, if they're sticking with Hartford and only giving those who dug the hole in the first place new shovels...
