While at work today one of our customers who we sponsor (competitive shooting) told me about a Colt .45 Kimber Gold Cup for sale and I might buy it. It is hand built and has only 1 magazine fired through it. It also has real Pearl grips so its more of a collector piece I believe than a shooting piece. Thoughts on the gun? Good buy for 250 bucks? EDIT:btw the guy is getting a divorce thats why it’s so cheap. he was ordered by the judge to get rid of all of his guns ---

1st - do you have a Pistol Permit?!?! w/o that, don’t even consider it. And from what I know of that model, that is a good price (but I’m FAR from an expert) ---

$250 for a colt 45 is a good deal. Even if it wasn’t in good shape, which this one seems like it is. If you don’t want it, pm me and I’ll buy it. Does your family own a big house on the corner of rt75? ---

Kimbers normally go for 1300, to 5k depending on whats done to them. Sounds like a comp pistol Regardless buy this immediately, its easily worth 5X the price your buying it for. ---

Kimbers are quality guns. I have the kimber elite .45 3inch and would not trade it for any other. 250$ for the gold cup gun is a steal and you need to buy it. I was told i would not be able to buy(from a dealer) one without a high mark up… ---
