Auto-Ordnance, in partnership with the artisans at Altered Arsenal, presents a stunning commemorative firearm in a series called "A Salute to Service," created to honor the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the Army on June 14, 1775. This special edition features a custom-engraved 250th Anniversary M1911A1 Pistol, serving as a powerful tribute to the unwavering dedication and sacrifice of American soldiers over two and a half centuries.

The pistol is chambered in the classic .45 ACP and showcases a distinctive and durable two-tone Cerakote finish, with an OD Green slide and a Coyote Tan frame. The controls are finished in a contrasting black oxide, creating a bold and refined appearance.

The Commemorative Army M1911A1 Pistol

Based on the classic M1911A1 Government Issue profile, this commemorative pistol is rich with detailed engravings. The left side of the slide boldly features the "ARMY" name, while the right side is engraved with "United States" and a "250 Anniversary banner" painted in Cerakote FX Gold. Echoing the design of the Thompson, the top of the slide also features the CNC-engraved Army dress uniform layout with black and gold accents.  A standout feature is the custom laser-engraved wood grips. The right grip panel depicts a colonial soldier, acknowledging the Army's origins, while the left grip panel showcases a modern-day soldier, representing the Army's continued service and evolution.  One seven round magazine is included.

The commemorative M1911A1 is intended as a lasting homage to the 250-year legacy of unwavering service by our nation’s Army personnel.
