COLT Gold Cup Trophy .38 Super 5″ Stainless O5073XE

The COLT Gold Cup Trophy in .38 Super is a competition-focused 1911 platform built around a 5-inch National Match barrel and stainless steel frame and slide. It pairs precision-oriented features—Novak red fiber optic front sight, adjustable Bomar rear sight, wide 3-hole aluminum trigger, and blue G10 checkered grips—with competition ergonomics including front and backstrap checkering and a beveled magwell. For a reflex optic under $1000 that complements this pistol for competitive use, consider a compact red-dot such as a Trijicon RMR or a Holosun 507C mounted on an appropriate 1911 optic plate.
