Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt MK IV/Series 70 Gold Cup National Match is one of the most iconic target pistols in the 1911 lineage, designed with competitive shooters in mind. Manufactured in 1974, this model features Colt’s renowned Series 70 firing system, which omits the later Series 80 firing pin safety, resulting in a smoother and crisper trigger pull—ideal for precision shooting. The 5-inch National Match barrel ensures outstanding accuracy, while the deep blued finish adds a level of classic refinement to its appearance. Chambered in .45 ACP, the Gold Cup delivers both stopping power and competition-level performance.

This particular Gold Cup is outfitted with a fixed blade front sight and a fully adjustable Elliason rear sight, allowing for precise point-of-impact adjustments, a key feature for target shooters. The fully checkered walnut grips, adorned with inlaid Colt medallions, offer both comfort and a secure hold, reinforcing the pistol’s purpose-built design for accuracy and control. Produced between 1970 and 1983, the Series 70 Gold Cup National Match remains highly collectible and respected for its craftsmanship, shootability, and its role in elevating Colt’s prestige in the competitive shooting arena.
