I bought two of these Colt Gold Cup National Match Pistols in 45 ACP. I am quite happy with these guns. Total 1911 and Gold Cup National Match pistol I have all together is 7 of them. These Guns shoot to point of aim. Awesome.
I bought my Colt Gold Cup 45 acp new the day I turned 21 in Dec 1974 and the next year I bought a new Colt Gold Cup in 38 spl, yes 38 spl. I still have the 45, wished I would have kept the 38 spl but I let a friend talk me out of it. He still has it.
My company has tuned/modified/customized Colt products for years. Right now, Colt means business. We performance-tune Colt, S&W, Ruger, and Dan Wesson revolvers. The new series Colt double-action revolvers offer the highest degree of precision available, even surpassing the precision of the older Colts. We have accuracy-tuned their newer 1911 pistols. Their NM barrels are fantastic. Colt's Gold Cup barrel-to-slide fit is unsurpassed in the $1.5K - $2K range. The out-of-the-box triggers are fantastic. Where a Kimber is set up to "sell" on the sales floor, the newer Gold Cup is meant to assure and satisfy at the range.
My GCNM Series 80 is an absolute “match- lighting / tack-driver” and I’ve loved it for 4 decades now. It’s the only one of my five 1911’s that’s a Series 80 and that should be a “trigger negative”, but it’s never been.
Basically this is a Colt Classic with a better slid top. I plan on getting this gun but hopefully the mainspring housing is steel not nylon!! As well as the trigger. 😮
I bought a 9mm Gold Cup Stainless and I am very happy with it I replaced the blue stocks with laser grips Nothing wrong with the 9mm at all I suggest you revisit the Gold Cup 9mm
Interesting review. But it feels more like a serious product commercial. Obviously Spitale hasn't fixed the National Match, when you read the disappointed buyer's comment in the comment section.
Good information and entertaining, the problem are not all Golt cup 1911 have acceptable levels of quality control, many people have expected superb quality from Colt only to discover later poor-quality control, when the work on Colt's so badly fitted and finished, then their reputation dwindles into the pages of history, Colt is doing itself no favors, with such poor-quality control sadly, more and more people are shown their grievances and gripes on TH-cam, images don't tell lies.
TH-cam mob-mentality fever. Sounds like you're repeating internet dribble from gun-culture crybaby's who are talking smack in order to protect their poor firearms purchases. Purchase a new Colt and see for yourself. I own 12 Colt 1911's dating from 1918 to 2023 and all of them do exactly what I need. The newer Competition Series are excellent and I can routinely hit an Action Target IPSC steel target at 130+ yards in both .45 Auto and .38 Super.
I have one of these I bought earlier this year and I am very disappointed with it. Right out of the box the trigger was 6 ½ lbs, and I called them about it and they said it should be about 3 ½. I sent it back, but the "tech" claimed it should be 5 ½ lbs, but when I got it back, it was a very consistent 6 lbs...So I guess I get to go spend money on a trigger job so it'll be something besides a Government model with a wide trigger...It won't surprise me if Colt goes bankrupt again. They certainly won't ever get another penny out of me. I also hate that blacked-out front sight because I can't see it against a dark target, but there's not much you can do about it besides paint it. The base of the sight matches the width and height of that flat top feature of the slide and third-party sights do not, so they wouldn't look right on the gun. It needs a gold dot, or even a white dot.
The front sight is a joke, slide to Frame fit very sloppy. Had about 4 failures in the first 100 rounds. It’s just a beautiful gun though so I put up with it
You knew what type front sight was on it when you bought it...not the manufacturers fault. My 12 Colt 1911's (dating from 1918 to 2023) all work wonderfully when i do my part. My most recent Colt 1911's in .45 Auto and .38 Super are accurate and extremely reliable. Sorry you can't get yours to do what you want.
Not sure that it accurate. You're local store my hurt for them because of the plastic, striker-fired market that they are favorable towards (they sell better than other types and therefor you'll see them on the shelves more often) but product shipping is current. Order a Competition Series and enjoy it.
The one that I got in 9mm is pure junk!! Will not group and then. slide is so loose you can wiggle it and put a matchbook between the frame and slide!! You have to depress the magazine release to load a magazine!! Real JUNK!! Colt I think I got the one that he got before it was fixed!!!

I used to have one of those 38 Special wadcutter National Match pistols!
Saw and fired a wad cutter.... wish he would have sold it to me rather than have someone steal it few weeks later
You don't mean 38 super!!??
@@enricomandragona163there’s a .38 wadcutter and .38 super so it’s a wadcutter la que el habla

Good to know, thanks! Am thinking of buying one as a present for my son, seems like a good value for a real Colt
What is your company sir?

bonjour magnifique pistolet automatique et superbe vidéo rapide de présentation et précise de se modèle merci de se partage vidéo cordialement
It's the perfect semi-automatic gun, the series 70 in black
Basically this is a Colt Classic with a better slid top. I plan on getting this gun but hopefully the mainspring housing is steel not nylon!! As well as the trigger. 😮
I bought a 9mm Gold Cup Stainless and I am very happy with it
I replaced the blue stocks with laser grips
Nothing wrong with the 9mm at all
I suggest you revisit the Gold Cup 9mm
Beautiful
Thank you for this information 😎
Are they night sights ?

Great video. Too bad you can't buy one.

So how do I get one.

I am glad I’m not having issues like you guys. Mine shoots smooth and very accurate.

8 +1 shot capacity 😮
Sounds nice but Colt barely making any 1911s

"Review" 😂 what a joke.
A schill for Colt. No targets?
