I need to start reloading...

[DMacLeod]

I need to start reloading. Going to gun shops for ammo is getting expensive. I went into a local shop this afternoon to pick up a few boxes of ammo and spotted this on the shelf.

Well actually I spotted it last week but resisted. Driving there I told myself if it is there, I'll look at it again. If it wasn't there I probably would have been disappointed. Low and behold it was still on the shelf and today my will was weak. But I was all smiling when I carried it out to my truck.


Colts of any style are hard to find around here. Gold Cups are even more difficult, so my decision was made. Here it is;

Looks like my other 1911 will become a safe queen. Hard to shoot the other one when this one is now in my posesion.

 

[The Lovemaster]

I have a better idea, you should ship your other 1911 to me so it can avoid its horrible fate of becoming a safe queen!

Congrats and enjoy, which I know you will.

Nice pistola

I remember when I first got my Gold Cup. I was one of the best days of my life.
She shot like a dream and I would have paid $50 a box for ammo for it.

So, you interested in buying any of my ammo?

NICE.
what was the other 1911 that got bumped from the limelight?

 

[DMacLeod]

This is the 1911 that got bumped. It is an essex frame with a colt series 70 slide. (other side says colt competition) It shoots nice but isn't a gold cup.

O.K.,I'll bite.

What's the difference between a standard Colt 1911 pistol and a Gold Cup 1911 pistol?

 

[Officer's Match]

Tighter tolerances, match grade barrel, adjustable target sights, to name a few differences. Oh and $.

That's anice ride, I've owned several GCs, NEVER been dissapointed. Always functioned, accurate and SMOOTH! I even carried one on duty for a while, a testament to my faith in them. Good going!

I think you should be reloading to feed that pony.
