Looking for a high quality, all metal Colt 1911 Gold Cup Trophy

thegreywizard · Jan 13, 2020

I am wanting to do a very high quality reproduction of a movie prop gun.

The gun I’m looking for is a Colt 1911 Gold Cup Trophy.

What is the closest air gun reproduction of this gun that is very high quality & all metal?

i need a version that has removable sights, both front and back so these can be cerkoted a different color than the slide and frame to properly match the movie prop

I’ll also need to have the slide be as plain as possible so I can have it engraved.

Thank you!

Take a look at the Legends 1911. I just bought one on clearance at Walmart for $45. Weighted like the original (2.5 pounds) Controls are designed to be the same as well. haven't opened it yet, so not sure about the slide. Does have some lettering on the side, but it appears to be printed, not engraved. Will know more when I actually open the blister pack.

Update - finally got the pistol out of the packaging. No engraving, just printed on the slide. Sights are NOT removable. Other than that, it's a 1911.

Oh, and what movie?

Thanks for the info.

I think the closest thing to what I'm trying to replicate is the Umarex Colt Commander:

Seems to be almost identical to the Colt 1911 Gold Cup Trophy:

Does anyone know of a more accurate replica to the Colt 1911 Gold Cup Trophy than the Umarex Colt Commander?

Is there a Colt Commander that comes in stainless instead of black?

Thanks.

The Umarex is good pistol. I have had one for a few years and use it to practice presentation drills from holster. There are about 8 pistols under different names that are the same pistol as it, just different finishes and details.

How do I find what other companies would sell this same Colt Commander, but just in silver?

What else can I search for besides Colt Commander?

I'd really like to find the Colt Gold Cup Trophy over the Colt Commander replica if possible, but worse case the Cold Commander is almost identical in features.

Thank you!

This one is airsoft, but the closest I see in a quick google search.

Agree with the above Air Soft has better reproductions....brands We,Western Arms KWS.etc...check them out....and they functions just like the real things.

Hmm ok thanks for that info.

After close inspection, the Colt Commander still seems to be the closest replica to the Colt Gold Trophy.

But the Colt Commander only seems to come in black. Perhaps I'll just have it sand blasted before having it refinished.

Thanks.
