Colt Gold Cup Trophy 45 ACP 5 in 8 rounds Brushed Stainless Left Hand

The Colt 1911 Gold Cup Trophy pistol is the modern iteration of Colt's storied Gold Cup series, built for competitive shooters and serious range use in .45 ACP with a 5-inch stainless match-grade barrel and an overall stainless brushed finish that resists wear and keeps sight picture consistent match after match. With a locked-breech, single-action hammer-fired design and a crisp 4—6 lb wide three-hole aluminum trigger, the Gold Cup Trophy delivers the predictable break and reset that target shooters demand, while the 1:16 left-hand, 6-groove barrel and polished bore promote tight groups and reliable feeding. You'll notice competition-focused ergonomics immediately—25 LPI checkering on front and back straps, an upswept beavertail and a beveled magazine well for fast reloads paired with blue G10 checkered grips for a secure purchase under recoil. Sight choices include a Novak red fiber optic front and an adjustable Bomar-style rear for quick sight acquisition and windage/elevation tuning during matches. At roughly 38 oz unloaded and an 8-round capacity, this stainless 1911 balances weight for recoil control with portability for range sessions and action pistol stages; included accessories such as a cable lock and manual reflect Colt's readiness for serious shooters who demand a competition-grade, semi-auto 1911 handgun.
