Colt 1911 mk IV gold cup value

[Salibas007]

I need help putting a value on a very good condition Colt 1911 mk IV gold cup national match series 80 pistol.

Pistol comes with original box, manual, tool and the 2 original colt marked mags.

It’s shown with a set of aftermarket VZ grips, but also comes with the original wraparound rubber grips with the colt medallion.

The gun is in a very good condition. A few very minor handling marks on the frame. Pictures don’t really do it justice.

Put the original grips back on it, and buff the scratch's off.

List it for 1900 with the original box and 2 mags.

1700 without the original stuff.

I have one from 1995 in same shape. No box or accessories.

Paid $1400 at my LGS 1-1/2 years ago.

Hard to say, series 80’s less desirable than 70’s, some scratches etc. Put it up for $1400, you probably sell it for $1200ish.

Why is a series 70 more desirable than a series 80?

Why is a series 70 more desirable than a series 80?

Purists like it and less moving parts that could equal a better trigger

S80 junk in Colt pistols have amounted to an ingenious solution to a non-existent problem....

Or shorter answer.... "because lawyers".

Guess you might tell I'm no fan of S80 safety do-dads in any of my 1911 pistols.

Blue '70 series Colt Gold Cup National Match 45's are the most desirable.
A used stainless steel GCNM with the 80 parts and the usual scuffs, scratches & dings........C$1000.00

I agree I would have a hard time paying over 1k because at $1300ish new there's the colt competition. Which from my understanding have the same barrel and in most hands would be just as accurate.

I think that is way under priced. That is a Gold Cup Trophy, in Stainless.

There is no way its worth less then $1600, heck you cant even buy the 1991 Gov'nt model for less then $1000 now.

Last time they made this exact model, its was in the 2k+ dollar amount. I even prefer the stainless model over blued, as its much easier to shoot and not show wear.

I dont know, if you guys are under pricing this on purpose just to get a deal on the EE. I dont think you estimates are correct at all.

There was 1911 colt gold cup stainless unfired on EE last week for $1500. It sold within the hour. If i didnt just buy a p226 elite stainless i would of been all over that colt. Amazing deal
