Oh Colt...

More pictures of that 1903 Pocket Hammerless have surfaced.  Looks like it's going to be a genuine 1903 Pocket Hammerless.

While I applaud the decision to make more, I have to wonder if they considered that they're competing with a rather large vintage market.

If I can get a vintage one for less than a new one, well... the people who're the target demo here are the people who'd buy an old one.

A quick check of Gunbroker says that $800 for a new parkerized one should do OK against $1,500 for a vintage blue one in near new shape.  Until you notice that there aren't any bid for any of the .32's in that search; not even the $500 well loved one.

Dammit, Colt, I want you to succeed!  But I don't think another boutique handgun is going to get you there.
