How accurate are they

Over the years I have owned more than a few Colt Government Models and have yet to own one that sprayed all over the target, but those that are not accurate enough for the owner can easily be modified by any decent pistolsmith to shoot 1" to 2" groups out of a Ransom rest at 50 yards. A box stock Colt Gold Cup will easily shoot 1/1.5" groups at 25 yards from the Ransom Rest with any decent ammo. Don't sell old John Brownings best effort short, as it is more popular today than ever, and more variations of it are made today than ever.
