New Snake Guns from Colt

[Coal Train]

Wait, wait, wait... so Colt is saying, "Yeah, sure, we'll just leave that money on the table" ?!?

Being terrible at "business" is the founding principle of Colt.

It is probably more a limit on how many people they have that know how to assemble them.

Again: there's demand for a 150+ year-old product (so no design costs to recoup), and there not supplying the demand?!?

Terrible at "business" indeed.

That’s underwhelming. I’d rather see a lightweight .38 or an increase in SAA production.

A 3" Cobra in alloy.

The damn 856 is outselling Colt. They can't figure this out?

The 3" Viper is cool though, I like that.

Sure, ok, but what does it offer us? Is it a "Trooper Mk. 2"? A cheaper Not Python?

Maybe @MattyD380 could comment after his Trooper Review.

The Kodiak is just a ported Anaconda, and the Grizzly is just a ported Python.

Don't get me wrong, I loves me some revolver resurgence, but WTH, Colt?

I assume it’s a service version King Cobra, but I’m not sure. And a King Cobra is analogous to a D frame, right?

As a lover of 3" tube revolvers...it offers another 3" barrel revolver. For me, I need nothing more.

BUT - you make a solid point it doesn't really do much besides appeal to dorks.

Is the viper a Python or cobra sized?

[03RN]

I really want a new new service

You just made my point for me.

Ok, I'm done bitching now, before I end up on "block."


Thing is, I don't really care about Colt, I care about marketing and product innovation in general. It pains me to say this, but Taurus might be doing it right.
