Gold Cup Trophy Vs National Match

Single action army series.
Gold cup trophy vs national match. Colt ammo double tap. Incorporating features that heretofore had only been available from custom gunsmiths the national match began winning trophies right out of the box. Colt s manufacturing company firearms handguns pistols rifles revolvers. But now comes the national match gold cup 45 acp of 2012 and it is worthy of the 1911 enthusiast s attention.
I bought a gold cup trophy model and the gold cup national match model. The trophy is a better pistol than the gold cup national match. The pre world war ii national match colt autos had a finish to die for. 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 also changed the sights to bomars which are dovetailed into the slide rather than the flimsy eliasons which were on the national match. There have been variations including the trophy never bestsellers either. This pairing as with earlier gold cups results in an incredibly accurate pistol. They are both great guns to shoot and they work perfectly.
