Gold Cup National Match, every day of the week. Twice on Saturday. Three times on Sunday.

Somebody just offered me a stainless Gold Cup NM, less than 30 minutes ago, for a lot less than $1k.
Less than 100 rounds through it.

Fighting the urge to pry my wallet open!!!

Indeed. While I appreciate handguns as art, I’m not a fan. I like my weapons to be durable, accurate, and dependable, and find my “art objects” elsewhere.

 

Another Springfield SS Range Officer, but this time in .45 and spend the rest on ammo.

 

First choice would be used STI Sentry not sure of caliber, maybe 9mm, second choice would be a 9mm Gold Cup.

 

Personally, a commander size 1911 in 38 Super w/o the goofy bobtail.

 

Kimber Super Match II. I'd have to add some with the $1400 but that's ok...the $1400 is the bulk of the deal.

 

One of the DW suppressor ready 9mm models. I just checked GB and there are some just under $1400.

 

I'd probably try and find a slightly used DW VBOB in 10mm

 

have to go with a Wilson Combat.

 

I traded for my first Gold Cup at a gun show in February. I ended up selling it for $900 because it was a series 80. I'd probably have kept it if not for that. If somebody offered me a stainless Gold Cup for well under $1K right now, I'd buy it and take it to the gun show next weekend and see what I could get out of it.

If I was spending $1,400 on a 1911, I'd probably go down to Bud's or KY Gun Co. and see what they had in stock - I'd lean toward Colt or Springfield Armory, steel frame, checkered front strap, none of that drop-safety series 80 crap and no external extractors.

 

Springfield TRP or a Dan Wesson.

 

Colt Combat Elite

 

Either a Colt Delta Elite TT 10mm FS or a Springfield Range Officer Elite Operator 10mm 5" and use the balance of the money to add all the little things I need to make it perfect for me (trigger, sights, mag well, etc.).

 

Colt, series 70, commander or Government, fixed sights, and Wilson Combat 47 Mags.

 

SA TRP

 

Two $700 dollar Springfields. Preferably V-10 Springfields.

 

Colt Combat Elite 45acp
