It is impossible not to see at least a few brands on the arms market, which clearly lead the lead among those interested in the topic. Undoubtedly, one of such brands is Colt.This American legend was excited in the mid -nineteenth century, When it came to the market subsequent models of repaired revolver, At the end of that century, when the wild west conquered peacemkers for integrated ammunition; but also at the beginning of the 20th century, where J.M self-speed guns. Browning with M1911 at the forefront, They took the hegemony of revolvers, Until finally the legendary M16 assault rifle appeared (AR-15) construction E. Stoner and its later versions.
Basic question, Whether a brand with such a past is able to release the product, which will not be particularly sold, or otherwise - it will be a commercial flap? You already know the answer - you have read the title of this article. Colt 2000 was the answer of the "American legend" to the era of "wonderful nine", and a denial of everything (Well almost ...) what Colt was associated with at least. Compared to M1911, A polymer crept in to the place of cool metal and wooden finishes, Instead of a tap. A double -breasted possessive magazine was introduced 15 pieces of ammunition 9 TO, The grip has been significantly modified; On the other hand, it's hard to speak, that something was modified, If something new has been properly developed - I exchange a few dividing differences here 2000 and classic 1911. All right, But for this reason this product turned out to be a "flap"? Glock stands out with a similar specification, whose huge popularity certainly excludes it as a "misfire" of the arms market.
The problem in this, that the proverbial devil is in the details. So that M2000 could compete with the leaders of the "Nine" market at the time, he would have to show special innovation, Meanwhile, the "thundering polymer" of Stoner and Knight did not stand out in this respect. Despite the confusion of the "ideals" of the native brands of the brand, He did not offer anything special, what could convince the owner of the modernist Glock, or a conservative revolver, or ... classic 1911. Interesting conclusions can be made looking at the Polish whistle 94 I cultured all American (mentioned M2000), Certainly our designers were more widely inspired by the construction of a whistle. The M2000 pistol was produced in the years 1992-1994 in the version with a polymer and aluminum skeleton and a steel lock. The action of this weapon is based on a short recovery of the barrel, Interestingly - the locking occurs through its rotation around its axis; Apparently, the designers wanted to affect accuracy and reduce the recoil, The French MAB PA-15 also works like this. The weapon measures 190mm long and 128mm high. Width 32mm, unloaded weighs 930 grams, and with a full 1110g magazine.
The no longer produced pistol has not survived strong competition on the part of the European nine, At the moment, it is only a valuable specimen in the hands of collectors.
