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 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!

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! 😀

thank you for posting this. 25 years ago I grudingly picked up brite stainless gold cup. i've never regretted it. highpoint of collection. it's gorgeous.

Very nice Colt, thanks for the video. I have 3 of Colt's 1911 and hope to get this one next. Maybe for my 60th birthday. I hope that Colt can hang in there.

Still one of the nicest looking factory pistols made along with the Python, blued of course.

That’s a beautiful Colt. I need one... Thanks!

I bought a new one in 82 they didn't come in a plastic case back then. They came in a colt box which had the gun protected in a two piece stiro

Very nice Gun! Cool Video!

Beautiful Pistol and a new piece of History, but The Colt Gold Cup National Match is here in Germany so expensive. The US MSRP is 1299$ (1105€). In Germany the selling Price is 2150€ (2526$). BOOM- Double Price....Thats really so sad....

Excellent weapon.

Not to worried about hammer bite! 6:17 tells me you will be if you're thumbs forward with a high and tight grip. Beautiful piece.

This is the 1911 I want. Beautiful pistol. Are you still happy with it 5 years later?

Beautiful

Never knew different springs came with some of these.

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

Wonderful gun!!! I just bought one! Well worth the money!!! I’m not sure who I will leave it to

nice 1911...

Beautiful! To bad I can’t get this in California

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.

I like the looks of a blued 1911 don't care for parkerized. Is series 80 worth it to get due to the safty? Why go 70s series over that?

This is the gun James Caan used in Thief.

Rosewood grips.

Beautiful pistol! But then, the Springfield Loaded you got rid of was very good too. What happened with Springfield such that you decided to not own their products?

Springfield are fucking trash, colt make the best 1911s shy of bear and wilson

Springfield is a damn good gun, but I would never buy another one. I got rid of the one I had and got a baby dessert eagle 3 in 45. Gold cup is my next gun to get

Friendly word of advice. Nobody really gives a damn what all comes in the box. No need to spend too much time on it. Nice gun. Looking to get one myself.

If you don't care what's in the box then you're an idiot. Unless your parents buy your stuff, you should make sure you got what you paid for and unboxing videos show what you should get.
