    Brat, I spoke to a Colt rep at the NRA convention last weekend, and he said that SAA production was being handled by two custom shop guys and delivery on orders should drop to 1.5 years producing 2-3 per day.  I got the distinct impression that the guy looking to retire is staying on to clear a backlog and to ‘train’ another guy, then he will retire leaving only one guy building them.  Sad, but there may be an interim plan in place to keep the Colt SAA from going out of production.  I also got the impression that they were getting a lot of questions about SAAs but management is focused on anything but SAAs.

    The trade show at the convention was nothing short or awesome.  Agree - takes at least 2 full days to see it all without getting fatigued.  And that P365 surprised.

     

    That's HUGE news about the SAA guy training another smith/assembler/finisher to take his place. Will post your comment over at the Colt SAA forum if you don't mind.

    Those guys have been guessing at the SAA production numbers for the past year or two - ranging  from 0 to 800 or 900  for 2017. What is certain is they are still being produced, as at least two Colt Forum members have purchased new 2018 regular production (not Custom Shop) SAAs in the past couple of months.

    The 1.5 years for a Custom Shop build must mean they are getting the extensive backlog cleared out, because over a year ago they were refusing any new custom orders and that the then current orders would take 2 or 3 years to be completed. One guy I read two months ago said he had just received his custom SAA that he had ordered in late 2015. Crazy.

    I hope he picks Tech. We don't need these me first flashy pre madonnas on the team. Give me a reliable guy like Kyle Porter every day. If there's 3 yards available on a run, he's going to get those 3 yards. And if there's 20 yards available on a run, well he's still going to get 3 yards because it's called consistency.  

    No shit.

    Gave my new cans a workout last week. Really enjoy both the 45 setup and this setup.

     

    Most of them blend in with the grass, but there are seven shell casings in the air in this pic. Good times.

     

     

     

    I can only spot 3, but then again my cataracts are growing worse.

    Looks fun though.

    Yeah I seriously doubt America is smart enough to learn it's lesson. Americans don't even look at the surface, they just let other people tell them what to think or believe. It doesn't help that probably 99% of Americans are completely ignorant of how things like inflation work or how fiscal policy of constantly running huge deficits will impact it in the near future. 

    I'd also not get too happy about the NK situation. It's funny how as soon as Kim noticed a crack in the formerly iron clad bond between the US and SK he all of a sudden became very willing to talk... To SK. He's seeing a US president who is crass and unlikable and will blow up at the drop of a hat. A very good opportunity to curry favor with the international community (and possibly reduce sanctions) without having to give up his nuclear ambitions. If he can manuever into that crack between the US and SK then it positions the US in a spot where anything they do to try to maintain influence in the region will look like they are the bad guys keeping Koreans from uniting. 

    Kim's actions are simple political maneuvering. He's working the influence of the US out of his region and people like China are all too happy to let him do it. It also doesn't do anything to make the world or US safer as Kim will still be working towards a nuclear arsenal and still be as batshit crazy as ever. 

    I think you are correct. Un is not as stupid as Trump and the Sork president is a naïve sucker.
