Colt Gold Cup Trophy - #GCT08238 .45ACP

This is a Colt Gold Cup Trophy .45ACP. The pistol is in like new condition and shows almost no use. The internals are in perfect condition with a flawless bore. There is no holster wear. There are no marks to the exterior except for the ever so slight "disassembly scratch" below the slide release.

This is the Model 05070X. I have attached a copy of Page 22 of the Colt catalog detailing the standard features of this pistol. Please be aware that this pistol comes only with the hardball recoil spring. Of course, a target spring can easily be had if desired. This pistol comes with two 8 round magazines.

Let me detail the custom features that have been added to this pistol. First you immediately notice the beautiful custom rosewood grips. The original black wraparound grips also are present, but you won't likely want to use them.

It also has a Wilson Combat one-piece full length stainless guide rod. For details on this part see: Wilson Combat Guide Rod
Finally, it has a custom fit bushing. The bushing is very tight and allows no virtually play at all. This is one serious 1911.

I hate to admit it, but I'm tempted to keep this pistol for my own. I have fired it on the range, and it is a joy to shoot. It functions flawlessly with very positive responsiveness. The custom features make it truly stand out. This is the first Series 80 Colt I have handled or shot. Like everybody else, I've heard all the woefull tales about the Series 80 trigger, etc. I can tell you without hesitation the trigger on this pistol is as good as any Colt Gold Cup I have had in my hands. There are two other Colt Gold Cups in my safe right now: a mid-1960's beauty and a Series 70 (featured elsewhere on my website). I have compared this trigger to both, and it is as good or better. This pistol offers every feature desired in a high quality 1911 target pistol.
