I never knew these existed

Only 411 were made. Not surprising you've never heard of one. I've never seen one.
It is not a Combat Elite but an Elite 10/40, no combat.
I ended up with two of them as I bought a used one years ago and bought a LNIB later to up grade.
All the rest of the Colt Elite Series were Gold Cups and were two tone also, blued slides and stainless frames. I always wished the 10/40 was a Gold Cup also. They came in 9mm, 38 Super, 40 S&W, and 45 acp.
There was also a Elite IX Plus which came in 9mm with an extra 38 Super barrel. There are only 30 of those around.
The Elite 40 is the only 40 S&W Gold Cup ever produced by Colt.
I would love one of those.
But not for $2495.00. :o
