It's not really that, it's more like the effect it'd have on past canon for me... I don't know if I'm explaining right. Kind of like, in S4 when they introduced Mary as a hunter, I liked it because it was expanding on an unknown aspect of canon. To me, this would be more like rewriting something that was a solid, indisputable fact for years now. It'd be like if they decided to make it that Sam or Dean wasn't really John's son or something. Not enhancing history, but rewriting what we knew to be true.
It'd probably bother me less if they made a distinction between the knife and the Colt that way, but it'd still irk me in the way that them doing things like introducing the demon bone-burning death or demonic invisicreeping did. Where I just sit there thinking "Oh, well that's random and convenient."
