When I was a 2700 match shooter and Camp Perry visitor in the late 60s well into the 70s I opted for buying plain old blued steel government models and having them accurrized by Al Dinan up on the Conn Mass border.Any government model accurrized by Al Dinan or other top pistolsmiths in the field could shoot rings around any out of the box Gold Cup.

I have no idea why anyone would pay all that money for a Gold Cup.

Are they being bought to be safe queens because they sure ain't any where's near good enough to be a competition gun.Are they any more accurate than a 745?
