The Gold Cup Lite Series 70 pairs a stainless slide with a blued/black steel frame for a clean two-tone look and durable construction. The Government Model 5-inch configuration delivers the classic 1911 format, and the factory case label identifies this example as the Gold Cup Lite Two-Tone, model O5970GCL-TT.
A National Match barrel is fitted, with the hood marked "COLT .45 AUTO NM." The slide is set up for reliable function with rear cocking serrations and a lowered, flared ejection port. Colt equips this model with a GI recoil system using a short guide rod.
The sighting system is built for precision: a fiber-optic front with an orange rod pairs with a fully adjustable target rear (micrometer/Bomar-style). Fire-control parts include a skeletonized three-hole trigger and a commander-style rowel hammer.
Controls and ergonomics follow a clean, competition-friendly layout with a grip safety and manual thumb safety. The front strap is smooth with no checkering, and there is no magwell funnel. Checkered Colt-logo synthetic grips in black/grey round out the package.
