Difference between the Colt Gold Cup Trophy and the Lite...

Because Colt stopped calling it Gold Cup Lite about maybe three years ago and simply referred to it as Gold Cup to differentiate this model from the Gold Cup Trophy. The Lite designation probably gave too many people the idea that the gun is supposed to be “lightweight” as opposed to light in ...
Current Colt Gold Cup vs Gold Cup Trophy - 1911Forum
May 23, 2020 · The Gold Cup Trophy is a nice package. Over the Gold Cup Lite the difference is just the front strap checkering and mag well, as stated. Over the Competition the differences include the Bomar-style rear sight and a wide target trigger. They all shoot about the same, so go with the features you like at a price you can live with.
Gold Cup Question: Trophy vs. National Match - 1911Forum
Jan 10, 2005 · BUT - you really should only consider a New Production Gold Cup Trophy (stainless model only) with the factory BoMar rear sight. End of sight problems, and a gun that shoots very well to boot. A new stainless Gold Cup was tested against Kimber and SA .45s last year by American Handgunner, beating them handily with approximately 3" groups AT 50 ...

CZ bought Colt from that hedge fund guy who never spent money on the equipment. IMO, the new CZ-Colts are much better than the hedge fund Colts. They are also making the Python and other revolvers.

Night Sights for new Colt Gold Cup Trophy, help needed
May 21, 2012 · Try Kensight for an Elliiason rear sight with Tritium vials. I believe the new Gold Cups utilize the bomar cut. Brass, gas, or cash. No one rides for free. Tool Tech can add Tritium to the Bomar by making a custom blade that is "dog-eared" to hold the Tritium vials. The standard blade is too narrow front to back.

It's quite accurate but the trigger pull is heavier than I'd like, and I plan to slick it up a bit if it doesn't improve with a bit more shooting. I know I'll answer my own question once I detail strip it, but I'm curious to know if I should expect to find a sear ...
Newbie here: Colt Gold Cup Trophy vs Springfield Armory...
Sep 16, 2017 · If you need an all around, get the TRP. The Gold Cup will be easier to dial in at 15+ yards, the TRP will have more flexibility as a range/defensive weapon. Both are great choices, I'd suggest if you get a TRP to get one with a rail for added weight at the front to keep muzzle down and ability to add a light for home defense. '16 Colt SCG.
