Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this SK Customs Mexican Centennial M1911 a true reproduction or just a commemorative?
A: This is a faithful centennial reproduction. SK Customs meticulously studied the original Colt Mexican Contract pistols to replicate the correct markings, high-polish blue finish, chambering in .38 Super, and walnut grip medallions. It is a functional, shootable tribute built to the original specifications, not merely a decorated modern gun.
Q: Why is it chambered in .38 Super and not .45 ACP?
A: The original 1926 Mexican Contract M1911s were specifically ordered in .38 Super. This was a deliberate choice by the Mexican military at the time, making the caliber an integral part of this pistol’s historical identity. The SK Customs reproduction honors that exact specification.
Q: As a limited edition, what documentation comes with the SK Customs M1911?
A: Each of the 300 pistols will be accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity from SK Guns, detailing the historical significance of the model and confirming its place within the limited production run. This documentation is crucial for provenance and future value.
