Every time they try it, it becomes a laughingstock due to quaint, outdated features that are 20 years behind the times, and often served with a heaping helping of poor execution.
All American 2000 Double Eagle Colt SOCOM The Colt SSP probably could have gained some market share. They basically built a S&W 3rd gen long before S&W ever got around to it. However, the rocket surgeons at the helm thought it wouldn't sell.
