Christmas Present To Myself
 Bought this Colt Gold Cup Trophy today. Can’t wait to run some rounds through it.

Bought one for myself and my son a couple weeks ago.
Except it was made by Umarex, for Walther.

I own an earlier version of that (without the fiber optic front sight). Did it come with another recoil spring for reduced loads (wadcutters)?

I learned my lesson with a BLR--never buy a gun that is so pretty you're afraid to use it.

Shot it today. Only put 50 rounds of generic 230 gr ball through it. Great sights, great trigger, and shoots nice tight groups. Very happy with this one so far.

Wow, so awesome! Lots of great 1911s out there, but still, something about a Colt.

I bought it a little before Christmas but a Christmas present to me is good.
I am trying to add pictures of a SA Prodigy but the system will not accept them. Last edited by BillW; December 31, 2023 at 08:18 PM. |
