Our Assessment: Colt Gold Cup National Match pistols were the benchmark standard for a .45 Auto target pistol for decades. With hand-fitted parts, match grade barrels and bushings, adjustable target sights and a wider trigger adjustable for over-travel, they came from Colt’s factory with upgrades you could spend more than the price of the pistol to have done by a gunsmith on a standard 1911. This one is in Excellent condition, looking for all the world like it was purchased and put away, with only faint handling marks. It comes with just about everything it did brand new and is ready to join a Colt collection or hit the range to be broken in. Please see our photos and good luck!
