Beautiful gun. Great group!
What makes a safety tactical?

That's what Baer calls it to distinguish it from the larger paddle safeties. It's basically a different, smaller contoured safety. I think it comes standard with other features if you get their "tactical" package which is where the name comes from.

I love the way Baer maintains the classic look of the pistol. Absolutely beautiful 1911. I normally do not include pictures when quoting a post like this, but these pics were worth a second look.

Very, very nice.

From the range yesterday: my 1993 Colt Gold Cup National Match. Bought used, cleaned up nice (I tell people, it's not my idiot scratch on the other side) and a nice shooter.

I just bought the identical gun last night. It is a 1994 with 25 rounds through it.

It is on a 1911, cause you need a safety...

Where are you guys finding these?

Just my .02.... My LGS has a fair pass-through of used Colts including 1911s, and while not always inexpensive (they'd definitely be cheaper in free-states) I tend to watch for something in good shape that comes in, pay the piper, take it home, clean it up and then enjoy it at the range.

Not all gun stores will have bunches of 1911s, let along Colts, come in on a somewhat seasonal basis. So it pays to keep a few shops in your circle of regular visits.

Mine came from a former co-worker. I have been after him for about six years to get this from him. He surprised me recently when he said he would sell it to me. I didn't need to think about it.

They are great. Mines been perfect with over 3k rounds and most of those were reloads.

This weekend I cleaned and oiled these members of my gun family.

Which do you like the most? I'm debating another premium 1911, TRP or similar. Looking for input on your favorites out of that group.

Want to donate that Gold Cup on the top left to me?

I bought this Remy last year. I just put on my new Hogue laser grips. I like the look, feels good in my hands, and the laser works great too.

A fun little plinker picked up in the fall.

Great looking collection. Along the same lines of what Sin asked, any general impressions of each pistol that you could share?

I've always wanted a TRP, I have an MC operator that I've beaten on and it's held up great.

especially for the Colts.

The one in the upper left is a 10mm Delta Elite I bought back in Mar of '94. The Gold Cup was bought brand new a few months later. It started out life as one of their "Enhanced" models from that period in the early '90s, but I never really liked that style with the GCs. This past year, I sent it to Colt and they "modified" it back to traditional configuration for me (i.e. new spur hammer, grip safety, sear, and new style trigger). They did all the work at absolutely no cost to me and even sent back the original parts just in case I wanted to switch back. Great customer service. I just like classic lines when it comes to Gold cups.

New to me old blued Colt Delta Elite in 10mm

 

[Rockrivr1]

Picked this up on Saturday at Holliston Firearms. Walked in looking for something else and seen this and for the price couldn't pass it up.

 

[shipwreck]

Had this for about a month. Then saw this post so I had to add mine!
