I ordered a new 70 series gold cup from buds last week, supposed to show up tomorrow. There was no photo of the gun so im not sure if it will be blue or stainless, I really hope its blue. I thought id better get it before colt is gone.
what roll of the dice? its either blonde or brunette. either one is niceWish I had the spare coin to roll the dice like that
If you ordered the O5070X, it will be stainless.
If you order an O5870A1, it should be blue (this one has no pics on the Bud's site). The O5870NM is also blue.
pistol came yesterday and its indeed a beautiful blue boy!LOL - or are we really talking about silver-haired vs blue haired? Congrats on ordering the 5870 Gold Cup... That'll be a fine looking blue pistol.

Lets see a picture of that new Colt .pistol came yesterday and its indeed a beautiful blue boy!
I had the 80 series parts taken out of my newish GCNM, it did improve the trigger. It is more accurate than a 70 series GCNM I used to have.I have seen the series 80 safety system fail.
On a GC that was purchased new and properly maintained.
Just because it's called a safety that doesn't mean it makes everything safe LOL.
Removal is a personal choice and IMHO, no big deal.
Some folks are dangerous no matter what.
That was the trade off, you didn't have the letter cratering, but the lettering was often shallower due to the polishing.The original 70's often had shallow rollmarks. But of the dozens of new 70's I've seen, none had a similar issue.
