The Colt Gold Cup Lite in 38 Super is a refined single-action pistol built for shooters who demand accuracy and reliability from a platform with real pedigree. Colt's Gold Cup line has long been the benchmark for competition and duty pistols, and this 5-inch, duo-tone iteration carries that legacy into a lighter package. With a 9+1 capacity, ambidextrous manual safety, and purposeful ergonomics, the Gold Cup Lite 38 Super suits competitive shooters, handloaders seeking the cartridge's performance edge, and serious practitioners who value a proven 1911-style platform.

The shooting experience hinges on sights and controls. Fiber optic front and adjustable Bomar rear sights deliver fast target acquisition in variable light—a meaningful step up from fixed irons if you're running drills or hunting. The ambidextrous manual safety accommodates both-handed operation without fumbling. Blue G10 checkered grips with scallop offer secure, tactile control that won't slip under recoil or sweat. At 38 oz., the steel-frame gun absorbs 38 Super's snappier recoil impulse better than lightweight alternatives, translating to faster follow-up shots and less muzzle rise.

Note that these are Colt Shooters' Models—100% new, factory-boxed pistols that may carry minor cosmetic imperfections from manufacturing and are not covered under Colt's standard one-year warranty. Such marks are typically imperceptible to the naked eye and do not affect function or longevity. One 9-round magazine is included.
