No Im not happy that Colt became a CZ company; but Colt has been in the check out lane for awhile (just like Remington and you see where that ended). CZ pretty much saved Dan Wesson and made it better.

Before CZ, the Colt re-introductions of the Python et'al were poor copies at best. They may be branded "Colt Python" but they clearly arent old school Pythons. Maybe CZ can do it better. It would certainly be hard to do it worse.

Today for a SAA to do more than hang on the wall, Id choose an Uberti or Pieta (and a Ruger if I wanted HEAVY loads), over a Colt. Yeah Colts are Colts they look pretty but they arent what they used to be.
