The Colt 1911 Gold Cup Lite pistol in 9mm with a 5-inch stainless barrel (brand part no. O5072GCL) is the entry point into Colt’s Gold Cup family, long considered the standard for competitive 1911 shooting. Colt equips the pistol with a Series 70 wide three-hole aluminum target trigger set to a 4-6 pound pull, and a National Match barrel pairs with an adjustable Bomar rear sight and a Novak red fiber optic front sight for maximum accuracy. The ambidextrous grip and thumb safety support both right- and left-handed shooters, and the pistol includes a magazine, cable lock, and instruction manual. Among competition-grade semi-auto handguns, this Gold Cup Lite configuration favors shooters entering competitive 1911 shooting.
