"They did make these 4 decades ago. I have a series 70. Fine pistol."
Mr Marklin, I guess you didn't understand what I was saying...I realize that Colt made a series 70 Gold Cup back then. My point was that the new, re-introduced series 70 Gold Cup is a BETTER pistol than the previous Gold Cup. The new one has better sights, better, lighter aluminum trigger, no slide lightening cuts, no collet bushing and the slide/frame fit and lock-up is more snug. The new gun is better than the old one, if you're actually going to shoot it in competition (as in, "National Match"). But yes, the older Gold Cup is still a fine pistol.
