Colt Gold Cup Trophy 1911 | 9mm | 5in | O5072XE

The Colt Gold Cup Trophy is a competition-oriented 1911 built around a 5″ National Match barrel and stainless-steel construction. It pairs competition ergonomics—25 LPI checkering, a wide Series 70 trigger, and a beveled magazine well—with Colt’s competition-blue G10 grips. For a pistol of this design a compact red-dot such as a Vortex Venom (3 MOA) provides a low-profile, accurate sighting solution well under $1,000.

Clear use cases for this pistol include competitive target shooting and precision range practice, where repeatable triggers and adjustable sights matter most.
