Do you mean Rob Leatham?
Anyway, I'd go for the Colt. I'm not a Colt fanboy, but I think the Gold Cup would be a better base gun. JMHO. Edit: I misspelled his damn name, too.

Robbie's the greatest shooter in our lifetime-with an auto-but you can't go wrong with a Gold Cup or any high-quality .45.
They're the greatest fighting handguns, IMO, and that's what I trust with me. HH |

No, you are confused. Rob Leatham is the world class pistolero while Rod Lathan is a washed up Estonian porn star. |

If you are really serious about Bullseye, get a good aftermarket frame and have someone like Jim
Rose in Jax. Fl or Norwood from the AMU build it right . It probably won't cost any more and probably less than a fancy Kimber or Springfield. YMMV |

Thanks guys. I guess I will go for it at $1040.00 NIB. I shot a Kimber and it was almost as nice and the Springfield has such a nice feel too. Have heard Springfield can be a problem. Lastly, had a look at a Sig X5 but the guy would not let anybody near it much less shoot it. He had real good groups with it.
Hey Roland_O_Gilead - I did not know the washed up pron star from Estonia was a world champion shooter? The things you learn at this web site are amazing. Now next week I will get LASIK, (SP) turn in the seeing eye dog, and then be good to go. What a plan. See you all at the range. LOL. |

I have to agree. I'm neither a booster for Colt's nor a basher of Springfield, But it happens that I own a Colt Gold Cup and one of the early Springfield "Loaded" models. The Springfield has been a gold mine of problems and after two trips back to the factory I "think" it's running right. I keep this pistol because although I may be insane, I like it. I like my Colt Gold Cup, too. The thing to keep in mind with the Colt is that if a Colt ever needs any work, one then owns a "custom Colt"; at least in the minds of some. My Springfield at this point is just a used gun.  Whatever; I like them both. |

Neither, spend a couple hundred more and get a Les Baer Premier II for @ $1,300, or a Rock River. The difference in price will be more than worth it in quality. I love Colts also, I just received a new manufacture series 70 stainless as a base gun. But the quality of the trigger and the finish leave a lot to be desired straight out of the box.

Why don't you check this site out for a while before spending a bunch of money on something that may not be the best bang for the buck -- no pun intended. I'd love to shoot some service pistol matches, but the stainless enhanced Gold Cup that I bought years ago isn't legal and even if it was apparently most pistol 'smiths hate working with stainless pistols so I wouldn't be able to get it tightened up enough to make it competitive at 50yds anyway... |
