I was in Larry's guns in oly this weekend because I am in the market for a 1911 preferably a colt because I dont care for all that extra crap. I look around a while and they dont have any but they do have lots of Kimbers and Springfields which are nice enough i guess but just not for me. So I ask if they are not stocking Colt anymore and reaplies with "nope Colt isnt selling to the public anymore". AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH i hate that line it is totally untrue. If they dont want to stock Colt products thats fine I understand just tell me you dont make as much or you dont like them dont give me that lame ass line. needless to say i thanked him and left. I really like shooping at local gunstores Andy here in town has always been good to me I just really hate unedicated people and stupid lines... anyway thats it thanks.   BTW this post has been brought to you by the good people at Bud Light.

I think you're correct.

My understanding was that Colt was no longer MARKETING to civilians.  That's a lot different than not selling to civilians.

Looks like they're still marketing to "civilians" to me.

Larry's has great prices.

They do not stock Colts, and this generally works in my favor.

It's a joke between some of us locals that Larry's gives Colts away and charges MSRP for Kimbers, at least in the used case.
