Your kidding right?
They don't make "new" 70 series Colt 1911s Gold Cups anymore and the low end Kimber "Classic" will out-shoot a new 80s series Gold Cup, both taken right outta the box.
No contest the Kimber will shoot circles around the Colt GC, which will need a good trigger job, before ya start..... while it's there getting the trigger fixed, have 'em install a better barrel bushing, which will help reduce the group size.
FWIW, Series 80 Gold Cups are NOT what they used to be, when they were the Series 70s GC. The DW he's talking about above is a much better pistol IMO.

NO, I am not kidding.
I have a few 1911's and have got rid of more than a few.
Among some I have owned -
series 70 Gold Cups along with series 80 Gold Cups
Series 70 Colt Governments, Comanders, Combat Comanders
I have owned the Hardballs
Springfields
Custom speed guns by Brown, Wilson, and a few local smiths. The series 80 vs 70 arguement has been beat to death, if there is any difference it is to small of one to argue, I prefer the 70 series myself, but own some 80 series and they are fine firearms also, besides he never mentioned a preference for any "series" firearm in his question.
For what he wants to use it for I stand on my recomendation The Gold Cup off the shelf.
I have no problem with Kimbers, just have never got around to shooting one yet.
