Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The Gold Cup name has been Colt's competition flagship since the late 1950s, when it gave match competitors a pistol they could take straight from the showcase to the firing line. This version carries that legacy into 9mm, wrapping a 5-inch National Match stainless barrel in a full stainless steel frame and serrated slide. At 40 ounces unloaded, it has the heft that soaks up 9mm recoil and keeps the fiber optic settled between shots, which is exactly what you want when the timer starts beeping.
Colt set this one up as an action-shooting gun rather than a pure bullseye rig. The Novak red fiber optic front sight grabs your eye fast in daylight, and the rod is user-replaceable if you prefer green or a different diameter. Out back sits a fully adjustable Bomar-style rear with a serrated face to cut glare, giving you precise click adjustments for windage and elevation. The Series 70 action runs a wide three-hole aluminum trigger with a crisp break and a short reset that makes quick follow-up shots feel effortless.
The details here are what separate a working competition pistol from a safe queen. Sharp 25 LPI checkering on the front strap and mainspring housing locks the gun into your hand, the upswept beavertail grip safety keeps your grip high and consistent, and the beveled magwell speeds up reloads when seconds count. The scalloped G10 grips in Colt's competition blue give it a look you will not mistake for anything else on the line. A dual recoil spring system, carried over from Colt's Marine 1911 project, smooths out the cycle and helps the gun run reliably through long practice sessions.
Feeding from a 9-round single stack magazine for a 9+1 total, this is a natural pick for USPSA Single Stack division, steel matches, or anyone who wants a premium range 1911 with cheaper ammo bills than a .45. It shoots soft, it shoots flat, and it wears the pony on the slide. Hard combination to beat.
This is a Series 70 gun, meaning there is no firing pin block tied to the trigger. Trigger purists tend to prefer the Series 70 setup because it allows a cleaner, crisper pull with fewer parts in the way, which is a big deal on a competition pistol like this one.
Yes on both counts. The Bomar-style rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation with positive clicks, and the front sight is a dovetailed Novak with a red fiber optic rod that you can swap for a different color or size without changing the whole sight.
It was built for competition first. Colt positions this model as their action-shooting Gold Cup, with 25 LPI checkering, a beveled magwell for fast reloads, an upswept beavertail, and a short-reset trigger. That said, its 40-ounce weight and soft-shooting 9mm chambering also make it a joy for casual range days.
Mechanically they are the same platform, and the 9mm barrel even shares the same outside diameter as the .45 barrel for consistent balance. The 9mm gives you an extra round of capacity, noticeably lighter recoil, and much cheaper practice ammo, which adds up fast if you shoot matches or train regularly.
