New Colt Firearm Leak or April Fools Joke? You Be the Judge

Something is brewing over at Colt Defense, but judging by the time of this “new firearm leak,” we’re a little skeptical of how truthful it actually is.

As a general rule of thumb: if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it probably isn’t a mongoose. At least that’s the approach we’re taking with this “news” because something about it smells rather fishy.

A recent Facebook post “leaked” the following images of a new Colt All American Model 2000 9mm handgun, but is it just another April Fools hoax?

According to the post, the all new Colt 2000 will feature:

  • The 3C Trigger. Factory set at 5.5-lbs
  • Improved CAMISA Gripton Ultimate Grip Experience ergonomic grip actually corrects shooter’s grip.
  • Operator-approved and combat-proven modern striker-fire design.

See the reason for all skepticism? Here’s the Facebook post for you to see for yourself:

So, what do you think, new firearm or hoax?

It’s tough to call, but based on what we have to go on here, we’re sticking with our gut and saying this is an April Fools joke. Nice try though!
