Description
Built for competition and precision shooting, the Colt Gold Cup Trophy is a full-size, single-action .45 ACP pistol with an optic-ready slide. Its 5-inch National Match barrel, G10 grips, and ambidextrous safety define the configuration. We point this model toward shooters who want a traditional 1911-style platform with provisions for a reflex optic.
