Colt CZ Group Update

[@generalnutmeg3959]

I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to Colt to manufacturing ww1 or ww2 style 1911s again. Hopefully, CZ will step up Colt’s quality control.

[@littlekingtrashmouth9219]

This is what we’ve all got our fingers crossed for🤞

[@lioncelica5170]

I just want them to bring back the LE901 and finally bring the CK901 to market

Thank you for all that have been doing!!! Your presentation of these news blurbs is precise and timed perfectly. I appreciate this very much!!!

You are very welcome!

Colt needs to move out of Connecticut and start producing the few products they have..that people actually want ( the new Python and the SAA ) at a more affordable price..first step is moving south..and cut all ties with the former management

[@volk4523]

Move to the PNW like everyone else. Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming are the states that matter, and soon they'll be the only ones.

Colt is iconic and I sure hope they get their act together. A 4" Diamondback in 22LR would be nice :)

[@markadams7597]

I'd wondered, glad to know this, Ty. CZ needs to move Colt here to TX. (Best cap I've seen you wear!!)

[@georgesakellaropoulos8162]

CZ is a solid company. I have three of their products. A rare steel frame P 01 tactical, another P01 with an Aluminum frame, and the double barreled Bobwhite. All of them have fit and finish way beyond their price point.

[@MTMILITIAMAN7.62]

I have a Cajunized SP-01 that is rock solid. Simply the best ergos of any handgun I have ever handled, and the trigger on it, since it was converted to SAO by Cajun Gun Works, is amazing. She's fast, flat, and accurate, and as reliable as the sunrise. I am pretty fond of my CZ.

[@hankwilliams-hx9ww]

CZ and Colt have a little bit of collaboration history together. I believe CZ was waiting until Colt got weak enough to be worth purchasing simply for the fact that the Colt name brand is fairly well known in the Czech Republic even more so than other iconic brands like Smith & Wesson and the 1911 platform is also pretty popular over there. AR-15s have become popular over there in the last 10 or so years so I think that the main reason why they purchased them is to actually export a lot of Colt products to the Czech Republic.

[@leeadams5941]

Probably the best new and reviews channel on youtube...love to see one on the Army/Marines's new rifle

[@rationalmind6362]

CZ produces a quality product. Hopefully we will see some nice Colt products being manufactured before the complete and total collapse of the Worldwide economy and social structure. Thanks for the update. 👍

[@drdrake63]

Fingers crossed!

[@johntatman9168]

I have been a Colt fan all my life but quality starting suffering all the way back to the mid 70s. My buddy and I each bought new pythons and AR-15s and both pythons and 1 AR could not even be taken to the range out of the box. We had to send them back to service center for repairs first. It was not a good sign for the future of Colt.

[@carolinagirl4483]

Thank you for the update.

[@elblancobasura]

Thank you for this information. I can never find anything in relation to this merger. Very good information overall. "We'll see" is right. Thank you again.

[@newdefsys]

Its ironic that there was a time when Colt was in a position to be the exclusive importer of CZ products for the US market.

[@ed9603]

Its sad to see such a long history of colt being sold but at least they can stay in business the quality of their products have definitely not been up to par with their name

[@markanderson5077]

CZ owns Dan Wesson and maybe Colt soon too. CZ makes great pistols. Perhaps they want to corner the revolver market too with Dan and high-end Colts. I might get a 3" Python.

[@gergemall]

Love to see CZ step up the quality control. I love CZ products for that reason . You are right about the UKRAINE war and they my be helping with that . It’s all very hush hush for now anyway over seas

[@cjmoore7240]

I think it is a great purchase. The QC for Colt went way downhill! I am a huge CZ fanboy and their products are excellent. My guess Colt will have better QC with their products.

[@bwrscott1]

Quality always wins (in battle and what to purchase).

[@tbjtbj4786]

Colt has always had cq issues.

[@velvetpilot2008]

Let's just hope Colts QC problems won't slip over into CZ and affect their QC. If CZ starts manufacturing firearms out of the Colt plant, you will see major QC problems.

I bought a Night Guard about two years ago and it had sharp edges with no deburring and a horrible trigger. I sold it a month later. Wonder if they improve it and the quality control I'd buy one again.

[@T30-z5w]

Echoing the sentiment in the comments. One of Colts biggest issue is location. They need to get out of Hartford, CT and set up shop in a gun friendly state.

[@andrewgreiner4157]

Do you know if CZ will continue the Dan Wesson model 15 or has been stopped since taking over Colt?

[@ctapmgriley]

Have you seen on the CZ website the report of why the CZ600 rifles have been recalled? That would make an interesting video.

[@dalehenry4694]

Glad to hear they are making ar's for civilian again🇺🇸🔫🔫🔫

[@larrylapalm7481]

I feel like colt at the moment only makes guns for collectors these days. One point I have is 1700$ for a new colt single action army is pretty steep considering that you can get a Ruger valquero for half the price or a uberti for even less. And the quality is the same, if not better.

[@82lowe36id]

Sure hope CZ puts people in place that can turn Colt around. Not hearing good things though. Hearing CZ is letting Colt take over CZ-USA and all Colt management is taking over. Does not give me a good feeling. Also been told that CZ-USA manufacturing will move to Colt facility that is very outdated.

[@Federxon]

Yes, the war in Ukraine is very close, yet the westernmost location of the fighting is as far away from the CZ factory (which is located in the easternmost part of the Czech Republic) as London. Europe is small and everything is relatively close. At the same time, I feel that many people think that the Czech Republic is further east and "closer to Moscow" than it actually is. :D

[@egomaniac8510]

This opens the door to abolish firearms without a 2a violation. If they ban foreign manufacturers ( ie. 1994). And foreign companies are buying domestic firearm manufacturers. Suddenly we find ourselves with no guns being allowed in the country and no violation of the 2a would happen. The term cz America is merely a division of a foreign owned company. Simple things like declaring a threat to national security would cripple imports but would have no effect for domestic mfgs. If there were any left still owned domestically.

[@rossstubbs7398]

I am hoping they make a P17 and P19 as an uograde from the P07 and the P09. Upgrades like optics ready mounts and stuff like that

[@HD-J.R.]

Horribly managed since the 1960's and badly managed for 40 years prior to that. Always late to the party and since the mid 70's came with an ugly date. They've been reactionary to market swings and not proactive. Good to hear they are back in the black rifle business. Now offer a working, affordable SAA in 357 and 45 for SASS. Reintroduce a SA convertible 22lr/WMR. Then a new pocket, polymer 9.

[@rockerdude8000]

I been saying colt is going to drag cz down for months now. Colt firearms have been sitting on the shelf of my local gun store since October. Other guns come and go even more expensive version of ar 15s or 1911s. It seems like no one cares about the pony anymore

[@regsparkes6507]

" Bad management" is just that, and as new blood comes in, i.e. CZ, then COLT should ( in this case ) take a back seat in day to day operations. The "old managers" ( I keep hearing of ) should be dismissed from any of the executive decision making in this 'new' group. Remington's story must surely be fresh in everybody's mind here. The above may be rather blunt, but it is NOT personal, it is just simply 'business'. I fully understand that this comment of mine is a tad after the fact,.. but then, so is this little story from GN & R, isn't it, as interesting to think of as it is.

[@drdrake63]

'tad after the fact'? this is our 3rd or 4th video on the subject, going back to early last year when this was announced.............

@@drdrake63 Yes I am aware of that, .I merely felt like commenting on it at this point. Is that OK, or should I have said nothing. :)

[@dgriffin6074]

I am determined to NEVER purchase a Colt firearm. Why? Not because of the quality or characteristics of their guns but because of the behavior of the company. At least TWICE Colt has declared bankruptcy; that action left those who purchased their bonds with significant losses; many of them, like myself, were senior citizens. Colt's actions may have been legal, but they no doubt alienated many who were shooting enthusiasts and who TRUSTED Colt to keep its promises. When there are many reputable firearms manufacturers out there, why purchase a Colt firearm?

[@ftdefiance1]

Didn't Colt flirt with buying the rights to s CZ double action duty auto a few years back?

[@tbjtbj4786]

Yea the colt 40. Z40 I think was the name? They wanted it and then lost interest in it. Forgotten weapons did a story on it. They sold a bunch to cdnn year's ago. 200 something.

Colt is a failed Company and has been for years. They won’t make products customers want, and give nothing but excuses. What major firearms manufacturer doesn’t offer a 22 rimfire ? Who owns the name to the Single Action Army and can barely make one caliber in one finish only? They misread the market constantly. They reintroduced the da revolvers and total blew the concealed market with confusing names . The Cobra should have been a plus p rated alloy frame 38 . A steel frame Detective Special next. Then instead of a King Cobra on a D frame, they should have brought out a vent rib Diamondback in 2 1/2 inch or 3 inch in 38/357, and a 4 inch , as well as a 4 a d 6 inch 22. At the height of ccw, they dropped the380 pistols , and allowed other manufacturers to clone them. They should have brought out a beefed up Mini Government version with 3 1/2 barrel ,7 round mag in 9 minor maybe a double stack 10 round , like S&W did . Bring back the 22 Peacemaker. Years ago I suggested to them they bring out a beefed up 1908, polymer frame striker fired pistol in 9 mm, with external ambi safety and mag release. Crickets chirping. One can hope they may wake up with new management, but I doubt it
