  1. Since it would have been a good move, it would have been very un-Colt-like.

  2. Why are they looking backward? It seems like they are laughing at the shooter.

  3. Not only the price. I can't figure out a DA/SA, metal framed, semiauto pistol that had some market success (and many that hadn't) in the '80s (and this one hit the market already in the '90s) that was worse than this. Worse takedown than any? Check. Low capacity? Check Heavy? Check. Fragile? Check. Crappy trigger? Check. ... Talking only of metal framed SA/DA guns in .45 ACP this thing got out contemporary to the Beretta Cougar (the base of the actual PX4) and the Tanfoglio TA90 (base of all the current Tanfoglio and IWI Jericho/Baby Eagle lines).

  4. It happens so often that "glock leg" (shooting himself while holstering or drawing the gun) had became a common term. Striker fired handguns are basically single action pistols with a cocked hammer, without safety and with a crappy trigger.

  5. There are "better" 1911 around. This is not one. It's unnecessarily complicated, and fragile too.

  6. This was inadequate too. I can't figure out a DA/SA, metal framed, semiauto pistol that had some market success (and many that hadn't) in the '80s (and this one hit the market already in the '90s) that was worse than this. Worse takedown than any? Check. Low capacity? Check Heavy? Check. Fragile? Check. Crappy trigger? Check. ...

  7. The sad thing is that it didn't need any R&D really. It would have been enough to phone Bernardelli to ask them to manufacture a series of "more 1911 lookalike" P018 to market as Colt DA/SA pistols. Like IWI phoned Tanfoglio to manufacture a series of "more Desert Eagle lookalike" TA90 to market as Jericho 941. The gun already had all Colt wanted (Browning action, DA/SA, all steel construction, 1911-style safety, a built-in decocker in the last iterations...) and the manufacturer was obscure enough in the US to not make anyone say that Colt "copied" another gun (like for the Beretta-Vector-Colt Affair).

  8. Why the eagles are looking backward? It seems like they are laughing at the shooter.

  9. While taking this monstrosity into serial production, Colt had the beautiful 1971 and SSP prototypes in some drawer.
