Colt Gold Cup .45
I can't even remember the last time I saw one but there is one in DesMoines, new. Someone with a better memory please refresh mine... were these tuned to target ammo only or can they shoot ball without damage?
All else fails I reckon I could look at the owners manual. Dang they lay awake at night down there thinking about ways to tempt me. |

Not sure about today's production version, but my Series 70 Gold Cup will in fact digest hardball; there is nothing in the manual saying otherwise. Having said that, the spring is lighter than a Government Model, the slide is lighter, and I have installed a recoil buffer to minimize peening of the slide against the frame. I prefer to shoot light loads in mine; for hardball I've got a Springfield GI 45.
You can always buy heavier springs for these also. |

Thanks. That sounds right. This one is out of the Colt Custom Gunshop and I really should not have to worry about hardball anymore but I thought I should ask. I remember they also chambered these for the 38 spc back in the day. It would be best to let a younger shooter snarf it up. I am still a fair pistol shot but my hand and eye is not what it used to be! We will see who gives in first.
