Built on Colt’s 1911 platform, this Gold Cup Trophy is a full-size, single-action pistol chambered in .38 Super with a 9+1 capacity. The 5-inch, bushing-fitted barrel and Government-length slide deliver the classic Gold Cup format in a caliber appreciated for its balance of performance and shootability.
The stainless construction presents a matte slide with brushed flats and a matching stainless frame. Functional slide details include rear serrations, a flat-top profile, and a lowered and flared ejection port designed for clean extraction.
Sighting is set up for precision with a red fiber-optic front in a dovetail and a fully adjustable black rear target sight. The fire-control suite includes a skeletonized 3-hole trigger and a skeletonized Commander-style hammer.
Ergonomics and controls are familiar and confidence-inspiring: a beavertail grip safety and a thumb safety, paired with blue/black textured G10 grip panels featuring the Colt logo. The factory case label lists model O5073GCL (Gold Cup Lite) while the slide is marked Gold Cup Trophy; the label serial matches the pistol, as noted.
