The Interarms Silver Cup was a 1911-style pistol produced by Interarms in the United States. To understand its history, it‚‚s important to know about the company behind it.
Interarms: A Brief History
The original International Armament Corporation (Interarmco) was founded in 1953 by the legendary arms dealer Samuel Cummings. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, Interarms became the world‚‚s largest private arms dealer, known for buying and selling surplus military firearms on a massive scale.
While primarily an importer and distributor, Interarms did have some manufacturing ventures. Notably, they operated a plant in Midland, Virginia, where they produced the Interarms \"Virginian\" Dragoon single-action revolver.
After Samuel Cummings‚‚ death in 1998, the original Interarms was eventually dissolved. However, the Interarms® name was later revived by a new entity based in Houston, Texas, aiming to carry on the legacy, primarily dealing in parts and accessories.
The Interarms Silver Cup 1911:
Made in the USA: Unlike many of the firearms Interarms imported, the Silver Cup was reportedly manufactured in the United States.
Likely a \"Parts Gun\": Based on discussions in online forums, the Interarms Silver Cup appears to have been assembled using various sources for its components. A common observation is that these pistols often featured Remington Rand slides (a World War II contractor for 1911s) mated to frames of possibly Essex Machine Tool manufacture (a known aftermarket frame maker).
GI-Style Components: The other parts used in the Silver Cup were generally described as GI (Government Issue) surplus components, further supporting the idea of an assembled pistol utilizing readily available parts.
Timeline: The Interarms Silver Cup seems to have been primarily produced and sold in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Affordable Shooter: These pistols were generally marketed as affordable, no-frills 1911-style handguns intended for shooting rather than collecting. They were often priced significantly lower than higher-end 1911s of the time.
Reliability and Accuracy: Anecdotal reports on the Silver Cup vary. Some users found them to be reliable and decent shooters, especially for the price. Others reported issues with accuracy or consistent performance.
Features: They typically adhered to the basic M1911A1 pattern, with standard GI-style sights and controls. Some examples were noted to have wrap-around Pachmayr gri
