Gold cup trophy vs national match.

They are both great guns to shoot and they work perfectly. Colt s manufacturing company firearms handguns pistols rifles revolvers. The new colt gold cup trophy pistol features the well respected gold cup series 70 wide target trigger set between 4 to 6 pounds as well as a 5 inch polished stainless steel national match barrel. The trophy is a better pistol than the gold cup national match.

Introduced in the late 1950s the colt gold cup national match became the standard by which all other factory 45 acp bullseye pistols were judged. Colt ammo double tap. I bought a gold cup trophy model and the gold cup national match model. The pre world war ii national match colt autos had a finish to die for.

Colt also changed the sights to bomars which are dovetailed into the slide rather than the flimsy eliasons which were on the national match. Incorporating features that heretofore had only been available from custom gunsmiths the national match began winning trophies right out of the box. For one thing colt got rid of that little sear depressor and spring which were a major pain to put back together. There have been variations including the trophy never bestsellers either.

But now comes the national match gold cup 45 acp of 2012 and it is worthy of the 1911 enthusiast s attention.
