I took out my Walther/Colt Gold Cup Trophy .22 today for the first time in over a year. I was having serious problems with hammer following and slide not going forward. I replaced the main spring and the rebound spring with a new set from Taylor Inc. and decided today would be a good day to try it out. I brought it as my second gun to test after sighting in my Black Mamba with a new red dot sight.
I was very pleased. I fired 100 rounds of CCI Mini Mags and 50 rounds of CCI Blazers with only one hammer falling premature and no other problems.
I really like the Gold Cup rear sight and the new EGW green fiber optic front sight. It made it easy for me to keep all my shots within my 8 inch Shoot and See target at 15 yards.
I'm going to have to use this soon in our Steel Challenge matches to really see how well it works. Two Hundred Plus rounds should prove it's prowess against those steel targets.
All I can say is it put a smile on my face. Feels like a standard 1911 but there is no recoil.
I'm glad I finally got the springs working. This gun is a true keeper.
