Where to buy: Gold Cup Trophy, 9mm in stainless

[gun'sRgood]

First thanks for the education on the differences. Now, where to buy? I've seen pics of one of these in stainless steel but can't seem to find one for sale. Dear Wife has it in her head that her Dad's had a gold trigger. I think either he had this done or the memory is slipping a bit. The plan is to acquire the gun and then have the trigger gold platted. This in stainless should look great. I also think she and Dad had a national match. As i understand, the trophy is a better gun? Thx again all.

I like the NM 70 series trigger over the 80 series Trophy. ( not sure if they made a 70 in the trophy) I could shoot either in bullseye but the trophy would not qualify in CMP being modified.

Try Bud’s Gunshop dot com. I’ve bought a couple different Gold Cups from them in recent years.

They are frequently out of stock but they come around after a while.

I've been happy with my current production NM Gold Cups, I have four. One in each in the following cartridges, 45 ACP, 38 Super, 9xq9, and 38/.45 Clerke. The latter was a rebarrel version of a 45 ACP NM pistol. They all shoot well but I'm sure they could be improved upon. I'm getting to the age where I dont shot as well as in younger years.

I have Gold Cup Trophys in 45 ACP and 38 Super as well as a Gold Cup Trophy Lite in 38 Super. I like the 38 Super cartridge hence the leaning to that cartridge. But, you cannot go wrong with ever you choose.

The 38/45 Clerke was decveloped for target shooting in the early 1960's. The Idea was that one could use the same gun for the 45 ACP round and the 38 caliber round merely by switching out the barrels and springs. Ultimately, it did not work out as designed, I load my 38/45 Clerke to about equal 38 Super levels and have fun with the cartridge. My rebarreled Gold Cup NM functions better with the round than my modified Government Serises 70 pistol.

The 38/45 Clerke can be driven harder than the 38 Super but I see no need for that.

Anyway, choose the model Gold Cup that sits your needs, it will serve you well.
