Nice Gold Cups I"d post a picture of mine but its been well-used over the 33 years I've owned it and don't want it to think its the ugly sister in the family group portrait.

Should'a bought a Taurus and a better camera.

You can make just about any 1911 roster exempt. The OP is in Texas though after all...

Is there a way to find out the year by serial number? Also is it normal for the slide not to stay open after the last round in the Series 70 Gold Cup?

Taurus, LLama, Hi-Point and Kel-Tec not my cup of tea.

Hope this is better?

You can check www.proofhouse.com, it has some. Or you can call Colt I think. As far as your slide not locking open it's not normal. It's either a weak magazine spring or follower problem, a slide stop problem, or rarely a worn notch in the slide.
