A: I hope they have one for you....I LOVE THIS GUN....I've been drooling over this gun since I first saw it in a magazine. A truly stunning version of the 1911.

A: a match barrel is just In the older colts government made during the 50's-90's most colt production barrels were not hand fit barrels , more like a interchangeable GI Mil Spec barrel. The newer colts made at the new colt plant seem to have actually fitted barrels and not just drop in ones, on a recent standard government model I got barrel fitment is as tight as a kimber classic target with a match barrel. Usually a colt government model made during the 50's - 90's is good for a 4-5 inch groups at 25 yrds, rested , while the gold cup models with the match barrels from the same period would shoot 2 - 2 .5 " groups at 25 yrs rested. Current colt match and non match barrels easily shoot 2-3 inch groups all day at 25 yrds. with a good shooter and ammo choice. So at one time there was a big difference, not any longer the main reason the new standard barrels shooter better is that they are made to fit the slide and frame tighter. HARD FIT IS AN OVERSIZE , CUSTOM FIT BARREL AND BUSHING

A: Two standout features of the new Colt Gold Cup National Match are the match-grade trigger and barrel. The wide, three-hole aluminum trigger is factory tuned for a crisp break each time. The National Match barrel is CNC machined from forged stainless steel, measures five inches and is chambered for .45 ACP ammunition. Also CNC machined are the receiver and round-top slide, both made from forged carbon steel with a blued finish. The wrap-around, rubber target stock features nickel medallions that showcase the rampant Colt. Overall, the gun measures 8.5 inches and weighs 2.5 pounds.
