Hey if it makes you Guys & Girl feel any better yesterday it was raining heavily out & I thought to myself Stainless Steel Hk
So the USP Compact 40 was on my hip for a while & even carried an extra magazine in a holder I acquired
I hardly ever even go out any more, There just isn't anything to do.. Guns & Guitar Shops I have seen them all..

My Sons Steinberger XP-2 Should be here today & hopefully the parts to repair it as well..

Think I should convert the Stainless to V1 as it's currently V2
My south Paw Son has his own Pew Pew

Got this beautiful Series 70 Gold Cup when I was only 17 years old back in 1979. I took the nice grips off immediately and put Packmayr grips on it; the original grips are buried somewhere... I already had two Colt AR-15 SP1s, Sterling-Armalite AR-180, Ruger 10-22 & Dan Wesson .357 mag in my collection, to include a complete reloading set up & bullet casting equipment since I was 14 or 15, so why not? Ah, to be a teenager and have such firepower... (normal for growing up in Northern Wisconsin)

When I first got this and headed off to the range, the gun went F/A after the second mag; scared the $hit out of me and my dad. Contacted Colt and seems they knew there was a problem with these going F/A right out of the box, so had the problem corrected for free (of course). Only shot this a few times in my life; last time was about three years ago as I had contemplated getting rid of this dust collector, but after shooting my USP Tactical and then shooting the Gold Cup, there's no friggen way will I ever get rid of this gun... Scary light trigger and accurate as hell. Lesson learned: Not to be shot after shooting my USP .45 Tacticals, otherwise I'll quickly start bashing the *&^%ing trigger pull on the HKs...

That’s my weakness…. 1911’s.
beautiful gun, and I agree with everything you said regarding the trigger. 1911 triggers will spoil you for life!
