I'll bet the powers that be at the mothership are debating this very possibility right now as we speak!

Does the mothership have the potential to do this? Of course they do.

Does the mothership have the marketing incentive and economic motivation to do this? Sadly, not... not at this time.

Is it possible that it will happen at some point in the future? I believe it is possible and I wouldn't bet my life savings (pitifully small as it is) against it.

Do I think it will happen in my lifetime? Recognizing how few years I have left (let alone "good years") , I sincerely doubt it.

Would I buy a brand new "classic" 3rd Gen, assuming my moonbat state would allow it? Only if they are a lot more true to the originals than the revolver "classics" have turned out to be.
