I, I'm an italian shooter in love with single stacks.
I fire a Colt Combat Elite in 45 HP( an italian law joke did not permit the 45 ACP until 3-4 years ago) that works very well.
I have a question about production variations involving the slide style:
I have seen a regular slide with fixed sight and another, like mine, that seems a Gold Cup National Match.
Someone could help me?
Thanks

Sorry but I don't succed in adding picture; my gun features a Gold Cup slide but have no "sear depressor" and also no adjustable trigger stop, two 8 round Shootig Star magazines, and the automatic safety of 80 serie.

I don't get the sear depressor part, but if you have a Gold Cup style slide, a beavertail safety and a high hold trigger guard cut, you have the "enhanced model". I believe its considered to be a collector now, since Colt discountinued the model in the mid - 90's (?).
