What About The Colt All-American 2000?

It wasn't in production long. Was it a good gun or garbage? What happened to it?

I guess nobody hardly bought them. I have a magazine for one I have been trying to sell for a while now with no takers.

Did any of you buy one/try one?

    I own one that I bought a couple of years ago and was advised by a distrubitor to hang on to it.I have never fired it, it still has a metal seal on the trigger guard.

    I was going to buy one a few months after they came out,liked the feel of the grip.However the dealer told me the had trouble with accidental discharges and he felt Colt would recall them soon and talked me into my second choice,the Glock. I never seen them again.There was two types,alloy w/wood grips and plastic framed like Glock.CW

    Hold it. This gun was recycled under another brand name, was it not? I forget which gun it is now, but I think it's in production under another name...

    I hadn't heard that it was 'recycled' into another gun either. Are you confusing the Colt Z40 and CZ 40B? The rotary bolt idea that Reed Knight designed was pretty well perfected by Beretta in their Cougar series.

    That may be it. The Beretta Cougar and the Mauser M2 use the rotating bolt feature. Anyway, here's the All American:

    These guns have rotating barrels, not rotary bolts. In my opinion, Reed Knight sold Colt a bill of goods on this pistol. It was an attempt to have a Glock and Wonder Nine competitor, but the trigger design killed it. They do not have great value now, but, as time passes, I think they will be valuable collectors items. They were never offered by any other manufacturer.

    I recall that one of the millenium designs that failed was re-marketed by someone else -- I thought it was this one, but I was wrong.

    As for the rotary barrel, what I meant, as follow-up to the previous post, was more accurate than what I said. The rotary barrel design does also appear in the Cougar, and Sig's Mauser M2.

    the rotating bbl design was also used in the Savage 1907/1917 pistols, and the French MAB-15 9mm autoloader. Feels a bit strange, but works like a champ.
    The remarketed design that Offerer is referring to was the Colt40, originally made by CZ with Colt's name on it, now sold with their own name as the CZ40. Nice, smooth-running pistol, if you don't mind decocking for the double-action pull by pulling the trigger and manually lowering the hammer. Saw one guy lose the hammer as he was lowering it, and the pistola fired (luckily) into the ground. Shooter shaken, but uninjured.
