COLT Gold Cup Lite 9mm 5″ O5072GCL

The Colt Gold Cup Lite is a 1911-style competition pistol built around a 5-inch National Match barrel and a brushed stainless frame. It pairs competition-oriented features—wide three-hole target trigger, G10 checkered blue grips, and adjustable Bomar rear sight—with a fiber-optic Novak front for rapid sighting. For a red-dot optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider a Trijicon RMR Type 2 or a similar compact pistol red dot; these retain a low profile and are widely used in competitive and range environments. Typical applications for this pistol include competitive target shooting and range training.
