Just searching for some opinions.
I've come across a Model 70 Gold Cup from the early 70s (its about as old as I am) in fairly decent shape retaining most of the finish. The only problem I found was that the barrel link pin wasn't very snug and would fall right out when you broke t down. I expect thats easy enough to replace - Brownell's sells replacement links and pins, but don't know if the pin falling out is indicative of some other potential problem. What should I look for?
Is a Series 70 Gold Cup a suitable choice as an occasional concealed carry gun (I work in DC so i can't carry on a daily basis, but I do most weekend days at home, driving my son around).
Also, the price was $650. Is that reasonable??
