Folks, Like to get opinions vs personal experiance from any of you that may own either of these guns (I have some permits comming very soon)...I am looking for an out of the box competition 1911...I am most interested in experiences with accuracy and reliability.

 

Thanks very much,

-Joe

I owned a Colt Gold Cup. Excellent, accurate 1911. Beautiful bluing. I am not a fan of Kimbers (go to either of the major 1911 forums and do a search why they have their detractors). You may also want to look at the Dan Wesson Pointman series.

Thanks - that colt is nice...The "Dan's" currently shown in production on there sights have all fixed sites/night sites...I'm not a fan - don't do too much night shooting....I currently shoot a Sig Tacops 1911 with a match grade barel...It shoots nice but has those night sites and a rough triger...I'm thinking abdjustable sites and a match trigger will facilitate improvement...With the 1911 Sig I can shoot 4"group at 30'; 5 3/4" group at 50'; and 8" group at 75'...Good shooting (i think) but some of the other match grade nicities would help (I think).
