Nice!!! I did not realize Colt made the Gold Cup in a commander.
There were 500 blue and 500 stainless made in 1992. They were specials out of the Custom Shop and marked "Custom Edition". I bought this one about 1994 for less than retail when a local shop was closing business. The grips are real African elephant ivory, also from the Custom Shop, the last years they had legal ivory to sell. They cost almost as much as the pistol.Nice!!!

Glock takes a different pistol tack, then Ruger. Though their Gen 4 and Gen 5 models are not on California's approved rooster, the Gen 3 still qualifies and continues to be produced for the California market. Yippie, skippy!
According to a quick Duckduckgo search, California ranks third, behind Florida and Texas in gun sales with 376,666 sold in 2019.
