SK Guns® is proud to announce the launch of its latest series. Productions in the Mayan Empire series will be limited runs of 500 Colt 1911s chambered in .38 Super, and each pistol includes a special engraved edition number.
The Mayan Empire, renowned for its architectural marvels and profound cultural achievements, flourished from approximately 2000 B.C. to 1500 A.D. in modern day Mexico and Central America. The civilization’s legacy includes towering pyramids, elaborate carvings and a deep understanding of astronomy and the natural world.
The initial production of this series is a homage to K’inich Janaab’ Pakal, or Pakal the Great, who ruled the city-state of Palenque from 615 A.D. for nearly seven decades. His reign marked a golden age of cultural, architectural and scientific advancements, with the construction of grand temples like the Temple of the Inscriptions, which houses his elaborately carved sarcophagus.
The left and right sides of the pistol’s slide are adorned with engraved pyramids, bordered in 24k gold, accompanied by scrollwork depicting Mayan beliefs, hieroglyphics and shaded textile patterns. The top of the slide features representations of Pakal the Great, additional hieroglyphics and the Mayan calendar.
Crafted with precision, the frame, slide, barrel and hardware are highly polished, showcasing 24k gold accents in select areas. The controls are finished in a deep Colt Royal Blue. Completing this historical masterpiece are presentation-grade black grips, inset with jade-like medallions made from Kirinite and gold.
The installment will begin shipping from January of 2026 and will be available at an MSRP of $3,000.
