Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Gold Cup Trophy (Model 05073GCL) represents the modern evolution of one of Colt’s most storied and respected competition pistols. Since its introduction in the late 1950s, the Gold Cup line has been synonymous with precision target shooting, earning a reputation as the premier factory-built match pistol in America. Designed originally for NRA Bullseye and National Match competition, the Gold Cup became the gold standard—featuring hand-fitted components, match-grade barrels, refined triggers, and superior sighting systems. The 2025-manufactured example continues this legacy with its 5" National Match barrel and Bomar-style adjustable rear sight paired with a red fiber-optic front, offering the clarity and precision demanded by serious shooters. Its mirrored Bright Stainless finish pays homage to Colt’s tradition of producing both functional and visually striking competition pistols, blending modern aesthetics with the brand’s legendary craftsmanship. What makes this particular Gold Cup Trophy especially desirable is its extraordinary set of genuine mammoth ivory tusk grips, complete with inlaid Colt medallions—an upgrade rarely seen on contemporary production models and one that immediately elevates its presentation and collectability. Combining Colt’s long-standing commitment to precision with a finish and grip set that borders on presentation-grade elegance, this .38 Super example embodies both performance and luxury. The .38 Super caliber itself has deep roots in competition history, offering superb accuracy, soft recoil, and high velocity—making it a favorite among target shooters and action competitors alike. Altogether, this Gold Cup Trophy represents the pinnacle of Colt’s modern match pistol production, blending heritage, craftsmanship, and premium materials into a standout firearm suited for both elite collectors and dedicated shooters.
