I don't understand all this Colt hate, because they are "dissing" the civvies, because they don't build the exact model you want.
Colt, from its inception has been a military contractor, thus names like..Navy model, Army model, Govt model, Commander, Officer, etc etc.
Last I checked we are fighting a 2 front war. Could you buy a 1911 from Colt during WWII? They, as noted, are focused elsewhere.
Does anyone complain that Lockhead Martin does not produce a single seat prop recreational aircraft?
Colt, has settled on a design, that they are confident in. If you don't like it, why complain, just get it from those that do have what you want.
I'm sure, when the contract expires, they will do what it takes to stay in business, or not, or get a bail out.
I'm also always amused at the calls for various manufactures to bring back some discontinued model.
it was discontinued for a reason, people weren't buying them. And while, it may seem like a huge market, on a firearms board, in reality, its probably a pretty niche market, that's is not feasible to service.
I personally would like to see a 6940 with a fixed front sight and longer rail. They don't make it, so I'll just get a 6940 or DD, and put a DD 9.5 rail on it, and be good
