Sad story of a legendary company. I would love to see Colt revisit a few of their classic revolvers. But my best guess is that the reason why they haven't is largely that they probably can't. The necessary machinery is likely shot. I've heard that claim. But the real problem is that you'd probably need a shovel to find the guys who could run the equipment, and to do the necessary fitting.
You'd need a shovel or a time machine to find someone that would pay the price for a new made Colt Python that was made to the old standard without cutting corners. Figure well over $2k. The market just isn't there, which is why the guns are no longer made.
I suppose to Colt's credit at least they discontinued their revolvers rather than cheapening them as S&W has been doing for the last 30 years.
