Colt Commander Gold Cup

Well, they were certainly offered by Colt and I would think would be a pretty rare bird. My concern is that they would be rare because they're a weird idea. They are purported to be a target pistol, but in Commander size, which reduces the sight radius, increases recoil, and decreases muzzle velocity. So compared to a Government-size Gold Cup, the majority of bullseye shooters aren't going to find them as good a pistol. They probably had a very limited appeal as a defensive pistol with improved trigger and accuracy, but I doubt if they made a ripple in the target shooting community.

Yes, they are quite rare in Canada anyway. A good price would be whatever he's willing to part with it for & what you're willing to cough up for it. I'd be all over it if I had the chance to buy one [within reason]. Minty, in box with original papers etc probably in the $1,000 - $1,200 area.

I found this photo on another board. It is indeed a fine looking pistol. They say it is worth about $1200 (US). Regards, Richard
