Goat,
It's one hell of a pistol. I've had on now for about a year. I have run everything through it with no problems. that is the average price too. Anything under a grand is good. Accurate as hell too. Mine holds 1" at 25 yards.

Fear the man that owns only one rifle,
he likely knows how to use it.

My father had a Colt Gold Cup, about 15 years ago. He sold it. But he talks about that guns, and how he never should have sold it, about 3 times a week. I doubt he will ever stop unless he gets a new one. It must be a very good gun for him to talk about it all the time like this. Buy it. Also, it seems to be made of un-obtainable around here. So go for it, I doubt you will regret it, that s unless you sell it.
I've seen NIB Stainless Gold Cups on www.gunbroker.com and/or www.auctionarms.com for 950 (keep in mind you pay shipping and transfer fees, but no tax if you're out of state). Not sure if those are good prices, though.
I bought one about two years ago, Paid just under $900 for it. Best buy I ever made. The trigger is the best I have ever seen fromn a factory gun. Accurate too.
Buy it, colt may not make very many more like it. Supposedly the custom shop worked on them before they left the factory, probably colt's last hurrah.

My response is don't buy it. Instead, if you want a Colt, buy a 1991-A1 and have a good smith improve it to your specifications.
The other good base for improvement would be a milspec Springfield.
If you want one with certain features without a trip to the smith, consider the Kimber. I've been advised though that Kimbers are better left alone as they come from the box.

Man, I didn't realize how much the price on these good pistols has skyrocketed! That's a lotta kale, but is it gonna get any cheaper? I don't think so.
