The sights are a Bo-Mar rear, with a Novak fiber optic front. Every model comes with a national match barrel, and from the factory is available in 9mm or .45 ACP. The front strap and mainspring housing are both checkered, and it comes with an EGW magwell as a standard feature. The controls are all extended, and the fit and finish is superb. Colt bills this as an out of the box competitive match gun, and I believe it on this one.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69640\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.45.45-AM.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\" title=\"A New Classic: The New Colt Gold Cup Trophy\u2014SHOT Show 2017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69640\" title=\"A New Classic: The New Colt Gold Cup Trophy\u2014SHOT Show 2017\" class=\"size-full wp-image-69640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.45.45-AM.png\" alt=\"A New Classic: The New Colt Gold Cup Trophy\u2014SHOT Show 2017\" width=\"1200\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.45.45-AM.png 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.45.45-AM-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.45.45-AM-400x223.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.45.45-AM-768x428.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.45.45-AM-1024x571.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-69640\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new Colt Gold Cup Trophy gives shooters a high-end competitive pistol at a great price.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Specs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chambering<\/strong>: 9mm, 45 ACP<\/li>\n<li><strong>Barrel<\/strong>: 5 inch<\/li>\n<li><strong>OA Length<\/strong>: 8.5 inch<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grips<\/strong>: various options<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sights<\/strong>: Bo-Mar adjustable, various front options<\/li>\n<li><strong>Action<\/strong>: Single-action semi auto<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish<\/strong>: Stainless steel, blued<\/li>\n<li><strong>MSRP<\/strong>: $1,699<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Impression<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about why people actually buy a Gold Cup, which is the trigger. It is there on this beauty; the new Gold Cup has a better trigger than some fully custom 1911s I have shot. In fact, almost all of them. In a very intriguing twist, Colt went back to a series 70 configuration on this model. Talk about a surprise! The series 80 introduced a firing pin block, way back in the 1980s. This block changed the way the trigger felt, and most of us felt it was largely unnecessary. Before now, you had the option with some Brownells parts, to rip the series 80 parts out, and cobble together a solution. Well, no more. The series 80 is still arguable useful on a duty gun, at least from a liability standpoint. But it is nice to see the series 70 return on a born and bred race gun.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69641\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.46.02-AM.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\" title=\"A New Classic: The New Colt Gold Cup Trophy\u2014SHOT Show 2017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69641\" title=\"A New Classic: The New Colt Gold Cup Trophy\u2014SHOT Show 2017\" class=\"size-full wp-image-69641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.46.02-AM.png\" alt=\"A New Classic: The New Colt Gold Cup Trophy\u2014SHOT Show 2017\" width=\"1200\" height=\"699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.46.02-AM.png 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.46.02-AM-150x87.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.46.02-AM-400x233.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.46.02-AM-768x447.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.46.02-AM-1024x596.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-69641\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The pistol has an extended mag well and finely done grip checkering.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Price &amp; Availability<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Keep an eye out for a full review of the new Colt Gold Cup Trophy in the future as well as guns for sale here in GunsAmerica.com.

Every model comes with a national match barrel, and from the factory is available in 9mm or .45 ACP.","og_url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/","og_site_name":"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica","article_published_time":"2017-02-04T14:19:00+00:00","article_modified_time":"2023-08-20T17:41:54+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1200,"height":669,"url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.45.45-AM.png","type":"image\/png"}],"author":"Clay Martin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@https:\/\/x.com\/wayofftheres","twitter_site":"@gunsamerica","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Clay Martin","Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/"},"author":{"name":"Clay Martin","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#\/schema\/person\/2d1bfff6535fbff35f392292b3a6438a"},"headline":"A New Classic: The New Colt Gold Cup Trophy\u2014SHOT Show 2017","datePublished":"2017-02-04T14:19:00+00:00","dateModified":"2023-08-20T17:41:54+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/"},"wordCount":432,"commentCount":5,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.45.45-AM.png","keywords":[".45 ACP","9mm","Buzz","colt","Feature Articles","SHOT Show 2017"],"articleSection":["Authors","Clay Martin","SHOT Show 2017"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/","name":"A New Classic: The New Colt Gold Cup Trophy\u2014SHOT Show 2017","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.45.45-AM.png","datePublished":"2017-02-04T14:19:00+00:00","dateModified":"2023-08-20T17:41:54+00:00","description":"A New Classic: The New Colt Gold Cup Trophy\u2014SHOT Show 2017 - Authors","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.45.45-AM.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-03-at-11.45.45-AM.png","width":1200,"height":669,"caption":"The new Colt Gold Cup Trophy gives shooters a high-end competitive pistol at a great price."},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-classic-new-colt-gold-cup-trophy-shot-show-2017\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"A New Classic: The New Colt Gold Cup Trophy\u2014SHOT Show 2017"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#website","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/","name":"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest","description":"Gun Reviews, Industry News, and Product Reviews for Rifles, Pistols, Revolvers, Shotguns, Optics, and Ammunition.
