New Colt Gold Cup National Match 70 Series 1911…

Good afternoon all and Happy Hump Day!!!  This afternoon brings one of the more iconic sidearms in our history into the shop.  The Colt Gold Cup National Match 1911 is known as the finest shooting semi-automatic in the world, and is the standard for competitive guns. The first Colt Gold Cup pistol was introduced in the late 1950’s to give competitive shooters a gun to take directly from the dealer’s showcase to the firing line. Colt Gold Cup pistols have been used to compete in local club matches through the National Matches at Camp Perry. It features an Adjustable Wide Trigger, National Match Barrel, Adjustable Target Sights, Lowered and Flared Ejection Port, Round Top Slide, Checkered Walnut Stocks with Gold Medallions, Fully Adjustable Bomar Style Rear Sight and Target Post Front Sight.  This one happens to be a 70 Series which makes it that much nicer.  As always, thank you for reading the Blog at gunshinearms.com
