This match-grade target pistol is the newest to come from Colt\u2019s timeless Gold Cup Series of competition firearms. With Colt\u2019s inherent use of high quality materials, superior manufacturing processes and storied pistol expertise, the Gold Cup National Match is sure to provide top shot performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeginning in the 1930s, Colt\u2019s National Match pistols have set the standard by which all target pistols are judged,\u201d said Joyce Rubino, Vice President of Marketing, Colt\u2019s Manufacturing Company, \u201cBecause this line of guns is designed with match shooters in mind, the Colt Gold Cup National Match gives anyone the potential to make quality shots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Gold Cup National Match\u2019s fully adjustable Bo-Mar style rear sight combined with the high profile, target front sight, gives shooters confidence in shot placement. Adding to the viability of this single-action pistol as a competitive firearm, is the beveled magazine well, which allows for speed and ease during reloads.<\/p>\n<p>Two standout features of the new Colt Gold Cup National Match are the match-grade trigger and barrel. The wide, three-hole aluminum trigger is factory tuned for a crisp break each time. The National Match barrel is CNC machined from forged stainless steel, measures five inches and is chambered for .45 ACP ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>Also CNC machined are the receiver and round-top slide, both made from forged carbon steel with a blued finish. The wrap-around, rubber target stock features nickel medallions that showcase the rampant Colt. Overall, the gun measures 8.5 inches and weighs 2.5 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to make the Gold Cup National Match available to shooters as the newest edition to Colt\u2019s legacy Gold Cup Series of target pistols,\u201d said Rubino.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>About Colt\u2019s Manufacturing Company, LLC<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Colt\u2019s Manufacturing Company LLC is one of the world&#8217;s leading designers, developers and manufacturers of firearms.
