Colt gold cup sear depressor spring club member here.

Said spring is .275 OAL with an outside diameter of .047.
I just happened to have it out of the gun while standing outside when it took flight. Odds of finding it are about like the proverbial needle in a hay stack.
I owned that Gold Cup for about two months. After waiting for a new spring from Colt, I promptly gave it a good trading off with a solemn vow to never own another 1911 with that particular sear design. I've kept that vow.
