I have had Gold Cups in the past. They are usually good shooters. Right now don’t have one. In fact got clear out of 1911s yrs ago. Just getting back in the last couple years. I have several high grade 22 Target pistols, a S&W m52 38sp and a FN Comp HI power 9mm. While dealing up some 1911 Commanders for SD purposes I got a 1970s model with extensive work done on it. Has been milled for BoMar sights, a National Match barrel cut down and target trigger. I almost passed on this pistol. Then found out it was never shot by owner who passed. The cone hammer is bobbed for cocked & lock carry only. Got box / docs with gun.
Long story short this is most accurate 45 I’ve ever shot. I’ve owned quite a few but never one that had been to a pistol smith.
I had 4 Colt 1911s to try out. Two standard series 70 and two Commanders from 70s. Due to ammo cost I took my cigar box of assorted factory & military for their maiden tests. To see if they had any promise. All four pistols were mint. The “ Bomared” Commander put 1st two cutting at 50’. With 1967 US ammo. That was off bags. Since I’ve shot groups under 2” at 25’, with handloads, off rest. Not to exciting for you young guys but I’m 71.
