Colt, Gold Cup National Match, 9mm Luger, 5 inch, 9+1 rounds, Blued Steel

The Colt 1911 Gold Cup NM Pistol brings the long-standing National Match heritage to the range with a 5-inch polished stainless match barrel (1:16 LH, 6-groove) and a blued carbon steel slide and frame that deliver the balance and sight radius competitive shooters demand; as the Gold Cup series was introduced in the late 1950s to send a race-ready pistol straight from the dealer to the firing line, this 9mm Luger single-action, locked-breech handgun with a 9+1 capacity and 37 oz. unloaded weight is engineered for controlled, repeatable accuracy. You'll notice the wide 3-hole aluminum trigger tuned to 3.5—5.5 lb, the lowered and flared ejection port, and the flat top slide with serrations for positive manipulation, while the adjustable Bomar-style rear and target post front sight give clear contrast sighting for rapid, precise follow-up shots; checkered walnut stocks with integrated gold medallions add grip and classic Colt style. With ambidextrous thumb and grip safeties, a national match barrel and target sights, and an operating system familiar to 1911 shooters, this Gold Cup NM suits competitive shooting, bullseye matches, and dedicated range training, and transfers are handled through an FFL.
