If you like Colt at all this is sugar tits news.
CZ makes good stuff that people want to buy. If they import that good sense to Colt than it will mean more awesome guns for Americans.
Cool, I wasnt sure. Was sad to hear an American company got bought out by a foreign company, but it doesnt seem all bad.
Colt was a faggoty company against the 2nd amendment tbh fam.
You for real? How, in what way?
Mismanaged by the shareholders, Colt Canada was the only place left with an engineering team innovating. They stopped sales to civilians and continued Colt's historic record of financial mismanagement.
Anheuser-Busch
Ballast Point
Miller
Coors
Jim Beam
Does anyone remember the Colt All-American?
Man, that was a faggot-ass gun.
That was another Gene Stoner gun...I guess even geniuses slam thier dick in the drawer from time to time
Think of it like a mad scientist in a movie: sometimes you want to make the most awful thing you can just to see if it’s possible.
It was truly a piece of shit for the ages.
So, i'm a proud American that lives in and loves the midwest.
That said, i'm a fiend for foreign guns and cars. It's good competition.
Also, many foreign companies have factories here. The last few HK pistols i have bought were assembled by Americans here in the states. They were just forged with that kraut space magic in Oberndorf.
My favorite US gun company is PSA by far. Glad that CZ bought Colt honestly. I love the fuck out of my CZ scorpion. If a company that makes good stuff people want is now in with Colt i am jazzed.
Probably the best thing to happen to Colt. CZ is tits.
Is that really bad news? Not opening a second plant and maybe using that money to instead fix the QC issues that killed colt? I’m not a business person but QC is the real thing that killed colt. That and relying on Boomers to buy 100 different versions of an 100 year old pistol
I can't imagine any major investment in new firearms plants during this administration, anyway.
Omaba was the best gun sales rep of all time

Interview with CZG president
So now Jamteen brand jamteens will also be soy??
No, they will actually work.
Dan Wesson makes the best production 1911's imo, thanks to CZ. Maybe now the Colts won't require a custom reliability job to run
Anyone know anything about this comoany?
CZG–Česká zbrojovka Group
They bought Colt
I think it's the holding company for CZUB.
Colt and CZ have done business together in the past, Colt importing the Colt Z40. I think the failure in sales was Colt deciding to use that pistol as the basis for its rightfully ill-received "smart pistol".
Also guys, this isn't the first time Colt has gone bankrupt, and it's not the first time an American gun company was bought by a foreign company. Looking at you, Winchester.
The positive note is Czechs generally like shooting and would probably have similar gun laws to the US if they weren't mandated by the EU to be more strict.
Czechs have one the longest histories of making owning firearms. They really started in the 1400s, and the right to own a firearm privately was affirmed starting in the 1500s.
CZ, aside from all the CZoy memes are a competent company, something Colt was not.
