[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1177163, member: 3099"] According to my book the Goldcup was only in .45? I've never even heard of one in any other caliber. But I've noticed a couple of things out of kilter in my book and I'm no Colt expert either. Dr. Barry Greyson knows 1911's. He's on the board. That .22 Jet should bring a nice price since you have it ALL and it appears to be in great condition. I wouldn't shoot that cylinder though. They were notorious for cracking and eroding the forcing cones. Kind of like the .357 Maximums that even Ruger single actions couldn't handle. There seems to a line that revolvers shouldn't go over and the .22 Jet definitely does. Man there are some interesting pieces in that collection. :thumb: [/QUOTE]
