I took my new stainless Gold Cup Trophy to the range (in my backyard) today. Shoots better than I can shoot it... but give me a few weeks.
I had problems with both Colt-supplied magazines, and until my Tuner-approved mags show up, they are the only ones I have. I'm hoping someone will know if it's a mag problem or a gun problem:
1. Using the 8-round magazine, cannot cycle slide to load a round with 8 rounds in the magazine - it won't budge. Remove the extra round, it's fine.
2. The slide does not lock back after the last round is fired using the 8-round magazine. Works fine with the 7-rounder.
3. When the slide is locked back after firing the last round from the 7 rounder, pushing the mag eject button to eject the empty magazine causes the slide to slam forward.
Do I have a couple lousy magazines, or a gun problem?
Photos of the gun will be posted in a couple days when my new grips show up - right now it looks like every other stock Gold Cup! In the meantime, here's the last 14 shots for the day.
