Colt Gold Cup NM

Hi All,

Up for sale is a new, minus 15 rounds shot, 1911 45 ACP Colt Gold Cup NM.  It's a beautiful gun.  The reason for selling it is because I should of went with a 9mm for shooting plates. Paid $1399.00 and will sell for $1200.00.

Any pictures?

Here are some pictures..... any smudges are do to lighting.  Pics don't do it justice.

I have decided to take this off the market for now.  I know I would end up with sellers remorse if it did sell. lol

It's funny how thigs work out sometimes, why the heartache on plates with the Gold Cup?

Well I think it lifts up to much in recoil.  Had a friend load up some rounds.  230gr. blue bullets, 3.1 grs. of Bullseye and CCI primers.
Just started shooting some steel plates and kinda like it.  And don't know what I am doing yet. lol  Rethinking, I should of went with a 9mm.
Another friend wants to buy my GCNM. I was also thinking I could put it on an auction and make a few dollars.  To me it's a beautiful looking gun.  Decisions, decisions.

Do you need 230 grain bullets?  You will get less recoil with a lighter bullet.  The 9mm may be better, but unless you buy something like a Sig P210 you will be hard pressed to find a gun as accurate as your Gold Cup.  The Sig will be a tad more money than your Gold Cup, but not much and they are very, very accurate.  I have a German made P210 and love it.  The new Sig USA P210's are getting excellent reviews.  Should you decide to sell your Gold Cup I might be interested if your other options go under.  Good luck, but try to find a Sig P210 to look at before you do anything.
