I like the quality Colt produces, but they will never get out of debt making Repros forever. Where is the innovation?

Is it a 9mm?
Because it should be a 9mm.

If Colt makes it in 9MM with dovetailed sights and a 1911 mag release, it would be a great CCW pistol.

I have my grandfather's carry piece in .32 and was able to pick up a .380 years ago... a nine would actually be something I'd want to carry! It's not in the cards, but it'd be soooo cool. |

That's cool.
I see a lot of those down in Mexico. They still run fine but most need new mag springs after a hundred years. I wouldn't try to modernize much of anything on 'em. They work. |

I guess I don't get it.
There are huge numbers of old ones in 32acp and 380acp, out there in circulation now. I love the originals. They are fun guns to shoot, and were ahead of their time, when released; but... How about something like a new revolver that competes with the GP100 and 686, an allow framed six shot revolver for ccw holders, like the old Agent, or better yet, a reliable, double stack polymer framed pistol, to compete in the modern marketplace, with the potential for police and military contracts. |

I know they have the Mustang, but that's "pocket pistol" size. I don't want one THAT small. I'd jizz my pants if I could get my hands on a brand spanking new 1908. 9x19 would be nice, but they'd have to redesign it as a locked-breech. The 1903 and 1908 are not locked breech. Outwardly, the gun would be awesome for carry. |

Limited numbers according to that first link. Which means big bucks. I have been looking for a good shooter in .32 for a couple years. The right combo of condition and price has not yet come up, but it will.

Straight blow back design. 9mm will never work. Not sure I see the market for this. A few for the nostalgia buffs and that's about it. There are much better choices in a 380. It's overly large for a 380 by modern standards. The sights are completely useless for anyone over the age of 40.

These are 32's not 380's. There will be some in a parkerized finish, some in blue. The guns are exactly as the originals. These are wonderful little guns. More than likely limited production.

Yeah, it would have to be altered to a locked-breech design to work with cartridges more powerful than .380. Keep the outward configuration and the 'hammerless' design (that would best be described as 'snag free' in modern terms of importance) and the platform could handle it. It could be done, pretty easily, IMHO. "better choices" really only refer to "pocket gun" sized .380s, like the Mustang and other very diminutive pistols. I had a Mustang. I don't want something THAT small. I did hold a model 1903 a couple months back. It's a good small size without being absolutely tiny. Good for IWB carry, but maybe not pocket carry. I don't want to carry a gun in my pocket anyway. I want it in a holster on my belt - be it inside or outside. Colt needs to make new 1908s. I've never owned a Colt handgun. I will own a 1908. It's up to them if it's a new one (which gives them my money) or an old one I buy from a store or private seller. |

They`re being made under license by US Armament Corp. This is the company that made the replica of the Colt Gatling Gun. I saw an interview on the net with a company rep who was at SHOT. Basically he said there will be a limited run of about 3000 guns that will cost about 1300 each. Finishes will be parkerized, and 2 types of blue. He stated they had to reverse engineer the guns because Colt no longer had the engineering drawings from the original production. 
From the interview it seems they did a lot CADCAM, and CNC work. Hopefully it will make it easy to continue production if there is enough interest. |

With as anal as they are about their history and the staggering data on original productions of all their firearms, I'm skeptical. But hey.......who knows. |

$1300
You can find cherry original 1903/8's for less. They made a absolute boatload of 1903's and good shooter grades can be found sub $400. I could see making repro 1908's as they are far less common and harder to find plus generally more expensive than a 03 esp in higher grades. I'd be more interested in new mags. |

Yeah, I'm starting to consider finding a 1903. I don't have anything in .32 and never have. If I were to get one, I'm not sure I'd carry it. I'd want to. If the 03 and 08 were available brand new for a good price, I'd get the 08, if not just to have a common cartridge with another handgun I already have. I really do hope Colt puts them back into mass (or at least somewhat) production and sells them for a sane price. |
