Which series is this pistol?

Hi Tim and welcome. This model has the Colt Series 70 firing system. The Series 70 lacks a firing pin safety, meaning the firing pin remains in the firing position until the trigger is pulled. Cheers and stay safe!

will 9 mm HP bullets feed this gun with any issues?

Yes Dennis. The National Match Series have the feed ramp that is both polished and angled correctly to reliably feed even wide HP 9mm ammunition. The only issue with HP's would be with magazines that followers don't set the top round at a proper raised angle. Not many, but a few ones exist. (You will know these as the top round will sit almost flat which could be a bad follower or worn out mag springs.

I tend to stick with XTP or Sig V Crown Hps in my 9mm 1911s, just aids in feeding vs. wide mouth HP rounds.

These are the best 1911 9mm mags I have found the ramped front helps with feeding of non ball ammo Metalform Magazine 1911 Government, Commander 9mm Luger 9-Round Stainless Steel Matte Flat Follower Welded Base Front Ramp Configuration Product #: 832886 Metalform #: 9FR-794 https://www.midwayusa.com/product/832886/metalform-magazine-1911-government-commander-9mm-luger-9-round-stainless-steel-matte-flat-follower-welded-base-front-ramp-configuration

Hi Dennis, Yes no issues at all with the HP loads. Try the Nosler.

Dennis, Most modern semi-auto pistols will handle HP ammo, some brands better than others. I do a lot of reloading and I have 9mm handguns in almost every major brand. I've found great success reloading with HP bullets from Nosler, Hornady XTP, Rock Mountain Reloading, Berry's Bullets. Speer and a couple other brands. I've also used factory loaded HPs from Remington, Hornady, Federal, Sig V-Crown and PPU without any hiccups. The key in my mind is where the tapering of the tip begins and how steep the tapering angle is. You can't do too much about you magazines or the gun itself other than polish the feed ramp to help the bullet slip into the chamber with a little less friction. Although I do not have a 1911-style pistol in 9mm, I do have one (Ruger SR1911 Commander) in 45ACP and I've used Hornady XTP HPs in 230 gr without any issues. Most 1911 style 9mm are generally scaled down 45ACP replica versions so I strongly suspect HPs will work with you pistol. I would suggest that you purchase box of 20 lowest cost HPs and give them a try. If they work (and probably will), just about any brand will cycle through your pistol.

It should but you can always get a gun that may not like hp bullets if you do either Colt or a good gunsmith will be able to fix the issues. They are mass produced guns and sometimes individual guns of all makes have issues in my 1911 9mm I have found the metalform mags to be the best at a reasonable price

The Colt Gold Cup is known as the finest shooting semi-automatic in the world, and is the standard for competitive guns. The first Colt Gold Cup pistol was introduced in the late 1950's to give competitive shooters a gun to take directly from the dealer's showcase to the firing line. Colt Gold Cup pistols have been used to compete in local club matches through the National Matches at Camp Perry. It features an adjustable wide trigger, National Match barrel, adjustable target sights and many other refinements as standard. Comes with 1 magazine.

Very Nice ! I cleaned the 1911 9MM Colt Gold Cup up and it is perfect.
I have purchased quite a number of firearms from Buds Guns , and I have had excellent experience.

Really nice pistol. People were very nice in Bud's. I picked-up the pistol in Lexington and all was done well and quickly.

I did receive my new Colt Gold Cup in new condition and I could hardly wait to shoot it.. it did come with two mags, one 9mm and one 38 super. I emailed Buds immediately one week ago asking for a replacement but have heard nothing as of yet. I’m sure they will correct the problem but hope it’s sooner than later. Other than that I am very pleased with their service.
