That is one “fugly” pistol !!!

 

[Mr.W.]

$1,300.00 +? Nice, but there remains several other less expensive pistols I'd wish to investigate.

 

[Talyn]

Just like a few dozen others...

 

[SaltyMonkey]

I like their rifles; own two of them. 1300.00? Hard pass.

I’ve run a Hudson.

It’s worth the hype.

Yea it has a "Hudson-ish" look.

Wonder if there's been any cross-pollination?

From what I understand…DD bought the design when Hudson went under.

OK, I didn't know that. Thx!

 

[HansGruber]

OK, I didn't know that. Thx!

Yeah…

Seriously, they’re a machine.

And when you look at what other metal strikers are running—Q4’s at $1200+…I think I saw the new steel PDP is at $1800…metal framed M&P well north of $1100…I’ll take a 1911-esque straight press trigger over hinged any time.

I think I'd be interested in this over a RIA 5.0 now.

The local Armscor outlet store hasn't been able to get any 5.0s in to check out so I'm loosing interest in it now.

I haven’t seen one (5.0) in the wild, either.

 

[MrMichaelActual]

Not sure about those roundish edges, not really my thing @ 1300 bucks.

 

[Talyn]

I haven’t seen one (5.0) in the wild, either.

It's been 2-3 yrs . since the 5.0 came out, so I think if a manufacturer comes out with something and it's MIA for several years then something is haywire with it.

GOLD CUP NATIONAL MATCH (9MM) $1299.00​

Both my Gold Cups were disappointments.

Colt's QC went down the tubes in the late 80's & both mine were rattle-traps.

That's when I discovered a friend's SA 1911 and it was much better (back then) so I got rid of the Gold Cups & got my first SA1911.

Hopefully, Colt Gold Cups are better today.

My .02

 

[Recusant]

Talyn, that's the roll of the dice that's become pretty much standard in today's world. But I will say, you'll never meet a winner that doesn't bet.

 

[Talyn]

My experience with the Colt Gold Cups was 35 yrs ago so hopefully, the new Colt is building better guns.
