It might be hard for you and me to walk away from the history. I suspect that the average Colt executive, only know enough history to sound like they know something, only concern is the bottom line and their afternoon Tee time, and only have a 1/3rd% chance of picking out the colt from a line up of 1911, Beretta M51, and a Browning hi power. I also don't buy S&W moved to Tennessee to be in a more "gun friendly state" they moved because N.Y. was taxing the bejeebus out of them. Some bean counter figured that it would be more profitable to spend the $ and move than keep paying taxes to NY over X number of years. Nothing wrong with that but knock off the pro 2A we are moving to gun friendly B.S.
