A long time lurker here making his first post. I had a Gold Cup many years ago but I had to sell it for financial reasons, I really hated to let it go but I promised myself one day I would get another 1911. Last saturday I was able to finally get a 1911 again. I am partial to the new 70's and was able to procure one for a very nice price. The only thing is this 70 has some qualities that has me wondering.
1) It has a collet bushing
2) The rollmark is different on the right side than the 70 I saw on dsk reviews. The print is a bit bigger.
3) The sights are lower than the repro sights I've seen on various places on the web. No white dots. Small military-type sights.
4) The grips are not checkered. They're sorta smooth but not completely, with silver medallions.
My ffl said he only put 10 rounds through it and he's always been honest with me in the past. It is in really excellent condition, almost pristine. The fitting is very tight. The serial # is 70g75776. I paid $595
