I was thinking about leaning over to the Wild Side and need to buy a 1911 for that purpose. I have learned that my XSE does not make the grade and so I am looking for a good gun that will be a straight shooter right out of the box. Can I use a Series 70 Colt Gold Cup with National Match barrel system and adjustable sights?
The Colt Gold Cup is known as the finest shooting semi-automatic in the world, and is the standard for competitive guns. The first Colt Gold Cup pistol was introduced in the late 1950’s to give competitive shooters a gun to take directly from the dealer’s showcase to the firing line. Colt Gold Cup pistols have been used to compete in local club matches through the National Matches at Camp Perry. It features an Adjustable Wide Trigger, National Match® Barrel, Adjustable Target Sights, and many other refinements as standard.
