This is not a Colt, this is CZ

Some things happen very quietly. The image above comes from Social Media, along with the statement: "We are very excited about another important milestone in the history of the CZ brand. Our parent company CZG has agreed to acquire the American small arms manufacturer COLT. After the completion of the transaction, the legendary brand COLT will become the new sister company of CZUB."

Meaning: The American legend COLT now belongs to the European quality firearms manufacturer CZ. This is a development more than surprising, which shows how successful the Czech global brand CZ is becoming. Surprised comment from colleagues at SOLDIER SYSTEMS: "Not a word about US government oversight of the deal, considering government small arms contracts, nor about the status of a possible associated purchase of Colt Canada, which could have immediate implications for the upcoming DND pistol tender." Regardless, the deal should give the iconic American brand much-needed life, as also mentioned by SOLDIER SYSTEMS. A small step for humanity, a big one for CZ."
