New Colt Gold Cup

MajO · #1 08-09-2011, 06:49 PM

I am wrangling the transfer process on a new Gun Broker purchase. It is a "like new" "Colt Gold Cup National Match .45 ACP MK IV Series 80 .45 ACP , blue semi auto, 5 inch accurizer barrel and bushing, Colt Elliason rear sight, wide grooved adjustable target trigger,solid rib target hammer, walnut grips with gold Colt medallion logo." Reportedly it only has about 3 boxes (150 rounds) through it.[IMG]

The pictures are off the Gun Broker page. No more 1911s for this year.

Best wishes.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, for me my wife likes to shoot. She would know if another gun surfaced in our home. I would not like to count on her being oblivious.

I think my wife thought guns bred in my safe..until the Wilson showed up..I think she's suspicious, guys

Well my Gold Cup finally arrived. It looks just like the picures already posted. I called Colt and learned the date of manufacture was 1985. For a 26 year old gun, it is in pristine condition.

Right now, workman are replacing my kitchen floor (water damage) and my house is in upheavel. After the chaos is over I will disassemble and frog lube the gun. I will also put on a pair of Sarge's Ironwood grips (I had been planning on putting them on the Commander when it returns from the Colt Custom Shop) that I want to see how they look.

Happiness is a new (to me) 1911.

I took the Gold Cup to the range this morning and am very pleased with it. I had been a bit concerned when it wouldn’t cycle a hollow point into the chamber at home. However, at the range, it had no problem with Winchester White box FMJ and JHP, Federal Personal Defense JHP and Remington HD JHP, all in 230 grain. In close to 200 rounds, there were no failure to feed or other malfunctions. I think that it is a keeper.
