RS:

Ed: It’s hard to say what’ll happen to Colt. They still produce guns for us consumers, but it’s got to come out of the Custom Shop so that’s limited in quantity. It’s just depends on their management and ownership. I don’t want to speak publicly about Colt, but I don’t know where they are going to go, either. Colt is an icon, but I’ve even seen articles that have said they’ve gone out of the commercial business. Of course, Colt says it’s going to be around a long time, but whether they are or not, I don’t know.

RS: When somebody gets into collecting Colt or Smith & Wesson or any other brand, will they get to a point where they want to show off their collection, say at the annual meeting of the Colt Collector’s Association … or do most people keep their guns locked away and private for safe keeping?

Ed: The Collector’s Association holds a convention somewhere in the U.S. every year. But there again, I live in Nevada and if the convention is in West Virginia, that’s a long drive. I’m lucky this year because the convention is in Reno and I’m right here.
