Colt Gold Cup Trophy .45 ACP 5" Two-Tone Pistol

The Modern Competition 1911

The Colt Gold Cup Trophy represents a return to what serious shooters demand: a purpose-built competition pistol that honors its legacy while meeting contemporary standards.

Design and Ergonomics

This is a pistol engineered for the competitor. The frame features 25 LPI checkering on both front and back straps—aggressive enough to maintain control during rapid fire, yet refined in execution. The beveled magazine well facilitates quick reloads under pressure. The upswept beavertail grip safety and thumb safety provide secure handling, while the wide 3-hole aluminum trigger breaks cleanly at 4-6 pounds.

Sighting System

The adjustable Bomar-style rear sight pairs with a genuine Novak red fiber optic front sight. This combination delivers fast target acquisition and precise adjustment for distance and windage—essential for competitive shooting.
