CZ bought Colt? #15786919 02/14/21 Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 4,001 Cave Creek, AZ Blacktailer OP Campfire Tracker OP Blacktailer Campfire Tracker Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 4,001 Cave Creek, AZ Saw on Just the News that CZ bought Colt. At least they are a firearms manufacturer so hopefully won't muck it up. I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all. Jack O'Connor

All the guns come out of KS. Dan Wesson is still in New York. I'm not saying it won't happen, but it's not happening very quickly.

They don't have a product that is not built better by someone else. CZ / Dan Wesson build quality firearms and are financially sound, so this will be a good match for the Colt logo.

I get scared when I see firearm legends like Colt taken over by another entity but in this case it is a great move for Colt, CZ and the consumer. Last edited by FWP; 02/15/21.

Dear Lord, don;t mention that in the Tactical Rifle forum on this site...they will string you up. You are absolutely correct, though. There is nothing they make that isn't made better, cheaper, or both by someone else.
