    In the Colt Gold Cup Ether

    Been in the ether for about a month now, so this will be my first GC.

    Today I committed to buy this one:

    1978



    Based on a few good pictures and a reasonable price, I'm going for it!

    (And thanks for all the info provided here.)

    Is someone my age supposed to get this excited about another pistol?

    1978 was a bad year. You should pass on it. Why don't you give me the guy's phone number so I can tell him it was a bad year too and avoid any other fellow galgunners from experiencing the pain of a bad purchase. As a good Samaritan, I will throw myself on it to save the rest of the group! Yeah, it's a selfless act on my part I know, but that's how I roll!

    I beg to differ. The full length dust cover rail makes a world of difference in the "when I run out of bullets I'm going to beat you to death with the pistol" look that causes bad guys to run in fear, and lesser men to feel inadequate. It looks just plain beastly and the extra heft up front does help manage recoil a bit better. Plus, an angel told me that when God called JMB to heaven it was to build him a full rail 1911!

      I've been priviledged to have fired a Colt Delta Gold Cup Match 10mm in the past. I'd suggest that you have made a wise purchase.
