PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

I have all 3 Colt Gunsite Pistols, blue, stainless and CCO. I bought a 4th, that one went to one of my kids, he is on a Swat Team in the suburb he lives in. I just wanted to get him on the Colt bandwagon and figured that the Gunsite Pistol would be a good start for him. He uses those plastic things at work.

The only problems I've had were the front sight worked loose. Gunsite Ranch installed night sights for me when I bought the pistol from them and when it popped loose, I sent it to Colt for repair. Seems to be holding. The other problem was rust under the stocks. Seems there was a problem with the thin wood stocks (grips) not being correctly sealed or something like that and it caused a bit of rust under them. I got it taken care of when I sent it back for the front sight problem.

The pistols all have crisp triggers and are very accurate, they are just good pistols. In fact when I went through an NRA Class recently, the lead instructor was walking by us and looking at our grip and stance, when he got to me, he stopped, looked at the pistol and said, "That's a nice Colt!" Some of my several partners that week commented that I shoot very well. A good pistol will help you do that. Not to drone on, but I will anyway, when I shot my bright stainless Python that week, the lead instructor was maybe 25' away, observing the firing line and saw that Python and exclaimed, "That's a beautiful Python!" I think so, that's why I bought it!

I have only one, (SS Gunsite), have not shot it yet but I know that I will not sell it. Like most members on this forum will tell you, the Gunsite is a keeper! If you can find one for a good price jump on it!

Yes they do. I can't seem to remember why that happened.......

The one I gave away was the most accurate pistol (in my hand at least) I've ever shot. It was better than the other Gunsite Pistols, my SIG and my SCG.

I don't know. I've never owned a Gold Cup or shot one either.
