After shooting and collecting guns for over 20 years, I am getting twitchy for my first 1911. I have spied a Colt Series 70 Gold Cup that I keep thiinking about, but would want to add an ambi safety (my friends here know I'm lefty), put a bigger beaver tail on it, and likely change the sights and trigger. Now the question is, do I need a Gold Cup to do this with. I already know the answer is no, but hey, it's a Gold Cup!
I like the looks of Kimbers, but they scare me. Some folks love 'em and others loath 'em. Springfields are nice too, but they seem to be scarce as hen's teeth here in Maine. So what's a guy to do? This would be a carry piece for me. I'm interested in your ideas. And Joni, thanks for your posts. I'm glad I am not the only one wanting to modify a Gold Cup. :ymapplause:
