What about the revolver line up that has just been revitalized? I don't care much about Colts on again off again relationship with the AR15 as much as I do their pistols and revolvers.

Some good questions. Maybe market DW 1911's as an up market brand, while the Colt 1911 brand stays more mainstream? But then, the name "Colt" is already considered by many to be an upscale name, so who knows?
Another consideration CZ might be considering is it gives them a foot hold in the revolver market, a market they might feel will grow in the USA with looming semi-auto and mag capacity bans possible in the near future?
We'll see I guess.
