  • I sold off my last modern Springfield Armory, a 1911 Loaded, and replaced it with a Colt 1911 Gold Cup Nation Match Mk IV, series 70, in .45 ACP. This is a table top look at the first look out of the box.
    Trigger was later measured at an amazing 3 pounds 9 ounces with no shots for break in through the pistol as of yet.

    I bought one new around 1981. They were a little hard to get because the demand was higher than the production back then. I still recall the price $426.00. A lot for a young mechanic that had a kid on the way and a recently purchased house to save up for. I still have it today and it looks pretty much like the one shown here except the box it came in was only a wood grain cardboard sleeve around a Styrofoam clam shell type of arrangement. It didn't include the additional recoil spring or the collet wrench but it did have the extra magazine. The grips on mine are a little different as they are fully checkered and don't have the un-checkered diamonds like this example. I believe then as I do now that this is truly a classic firearm.

    I have owned and collected Colt 1911 .45s since 1979..I have never owned a bad one! They have ALL shot very well..the gold cups are my best if course. I carry a Officers model for my EDC gun. You won't be sorry you bought it, they are great!
    Nice video! 😀

    I believe I bought mine in 1979. Used it for competition bullseye for a couple of years. Colt upgraded the rear sight pin. That's it. Still looks like new!

    The only problem I have with the Colt 1911's is the loosely fit beaver tail safety. It doesn't affect accuracy and it's a very small complaint but it bugs me.I do own a Colt 1911 and would like to have another

    Nice review of the 1911 and a great looking Colt. It's been awhile since this video came out, just wandering if you tested the trigger LB pull and what was the number. I have a new unfired, same gun and the pull is a 7 to 8 lb pull on my wheeler scale. I read that it should be 3.5 to 5.5. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

      Search it and you will find a ton of information. In a nutshell they withdrew opposition to gun control legislation to protect their own interests, then said Oops, the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing.

      If I dry fire it the safety nazis hit me up. If I don't the gun gurus do. Welcome to the internet - can't make everyone happy. Don't worry though - the Colt has about 500 rounds through it and is running just fine.

      No one watches these videos for the paper work fuck head. It should be mentioned in passing at most, not drawn out in detail. Besides every gun comes with the same fucking papers. Manual, NRA stuff, lock, and warranty card. Ever buy a gun before shit for brains?
