Looks like Kimber is coming out with some type of revolver at the Shot Show. I also read where Colt is seriously thinking about bringing back the Snake Guns HMMMMM

Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

I hope Colt comes back with DA revolvers, but they have been putting out statements for years talking about starting their revolver line up again.

If thats it, it reminds me of women's shoes. Manufacturers apparently have competitions to see who can make the ugliest. Mentioned in the same thread as Colt Snakes....it sure doesn't pass muster .

Well at least it looks better than A Rhino
Thing is Kimber won't be able to make enough of them...
Thing that REALLY bugs me is why Colt dropped the Snakes and S&W dropped the K frames, except for their uglyazz m-66 they schlep out there now with their super cool lock, its so attractive...

Kimber yes. Colt will never bring back snake guns. First they destryoed all of the tooling in the 80s, and they were way to expensive to make. The snake models all had to be hand fitted and timed.

Agreed!..... I have read accounts of people who worked for Colt when they made snakes; and according to them the Pythons were accuracy tested by having one of the fitters lay stomach down in a fully reclined Lazy Boy recliner - Using the head rest of the chair as a padded shooting bench....Which I think is AWESOME and so common sense practical that it probably wouldn't be accepted in todays manufacturing world. If they every do bring back the "Snakes" they will most certainly be a "reverse engineered" product from full CNC production; to capitalize on the reputation and desire for their old school products...... and at a price point similar to the current market price of those older guns.

I'm old school, or maybe just old but I like to see the hammer on a double action revolver.
