It's official. Word is they are in distributors' hands now. Just waiting for the 2020 SHOT Show introduction. I shudder at what the price will be, but....What Price Glory?
You surely know how to make a guy feel old.I think Colt needs to come up with some new ideas and modern innovation in order to stay viable in today's firearms market instead of trying to produce pistols with familiar looks and the same names of great pistols in the past.
They won't garner interest with the newer generation, or match the remembered quality of the older generation. And since the older generation is getting older and will be dying eventually, I just can't see these newer pistols with old names generating a successful venture.
Not looking to be harsh, but someone's gotta say it.

Hahaha
But as usual you are dead on!!

I've always been a natural born trouble maker.
Okay, guys. You know it is not nice to disparage someones personal choice and preference in firearms.
I could go on a very long winded rant about combat tupperware and Tactical Timmy's 6 pound black rifle with 23 pounds of lights, lasers, red dots, scopes, and the kitchen sink mounted on it.
Diamondbacks are high because Colt only made them about half as long they made Pythons.
I agree with getting the Burris mount that replaces the Ruger MK rear sight. It makes for a very clean, low profile install.
What does an older Diamondback go for these days? $12 to $1400? I would spend that kinda money on an older one for the quality and probably a newer one if the quality is the same or better?
That is about the starting price for a 4 or 6 " blue .38 Special. Snubs, .22 rimfire and/or nickel will bring 50% more.
Is Colt re-producing the detectives or Chiefs specials?
More or less. The original Detective Special was steel framed and the Cobra was the same gun in alloy. The new Cobra is steel.
Chiefs Specials are Smith and Wesson.

Hard to beat a S&W Chief's Special. They just do everything right and have withstood the test of time while doing so.
