Better than a Gold Cup

Thanks for the explaination for spqrzilla. Not to be needy, but I would like to know more. Is the series 80 firing pin block a Colt specific design or is it the current 1911 platform? I love 1911's. So is my Kimber ultra carry II a 80 serise?

A lot of guns use the block. Hk uses their own version. They are all a different design, but work in the same way: trigger moves it out of the way. If you don't like the trigger with one installed, remove it, or make the spring for it lighter. They are also there in case the one of the sears break.

That's just cheating...

My own recollection is that the Colt Gold Cup's were OK, but not great. They were just better in accuracy than the contemporary Government models. The Gold Cup's revolver style rear sight was a bit fragile and had a tendency to break off its roll pin.
