Triggers (source)
“…about 20% of officers end up putting their fingers on the trigger of their guns when they shouldn’t, and most of them don’t even realize it, and are stunned when they are shown the undeniable truth in the video.

Australian gun control

Colt Defense bankrupt?
Colt has been struggling financially for a generation or so since they lost US military contracts for AR rifles and 1911 pistols. Colt had been far too dependent on those to the detriment of commercial sales of pistols, rifles, and especially revolvers, many of which went away and can no longer make Colt any money. Now Colt Defense LLC, which owns Colt Holding which in turn owns, or “holds,” primarily Colt Manufacturing, the civilian Colt that we use, says it could be in bankruptcy next week.
