Hey DR, that is a fine looking pistol. I've never fired a gun that was designed with competition in mind. I own quite a few guns, and have fired many while active duty.
The standard issue weapon now is a Berretta M-9. I actually fancy that pistol over many. The Taurus PT-17 is almost an identicle style fire arm, but with a much better, lifetime warranty. It's also about 200 bucks cheaper than the berretta at just under 500 bucks. I like the safety features and dependability of both firearms. They are also very consistant in regards to performance.
I imagine that Colt you're refering to is probably well into the 4 digit price tag range. I could never justify the price tag for a weapon of that measure, but it would be nice to fire one anyhow.
What is the biggest difference between the gold cup and a standard pistol, that really makes it stand out that is. I couldn't see it being more accurate, as that is determined by the length of the barrel, the bore ratio, and of course the individual squeezing the trigger.
