SK Customs is proud to introduce the third edition of the Mexican War of Independence series, Generalissimo Jose M. Morelos.
Morelos, a Mexican priest, statesman and military commander, is considered a national hero in Mexico. He led the Mexican War of Independence movement, assuming his leadership after the execution of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in 1811.
Through his paternal line, Morelos was related to Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. Both shared a common ancestor which was a descendant of the conquistador (conqueror) Hernán Cortés.
Morelos felt a true connection to his people, and they loved him for it. He fought to remove all class and race distinctions. He was one of the first true Mexican nationalists and had a vision of a unified, free Mexico.
Morelos will be a limited-edition production run of only 200 Full Size Government Model Colt 1911 chambered in 38 Super. Each pistol will include a special engraved edition number.
Details on the left side of the firearm starting from the rear include a depiction of the 1810 Mexican Independence Coat of Arms, the Congress of Chilpancingo on the day of signing the Solemn Act of the Declaration of Independence of North America, and the first Mexican legal historical document which established the separation of Mexico from Spanish rule. Also engraved on the frame “Congreso de Chilpancingo.”
On the right side of the firearm starting from the rear include the Coat of Arms of Morelos, and a depiction of when Hidalgo summoned Morelos to join him shortly after his “Grito de Dolores” (Cry of Delores) starting the revolt for Mexico’s Independence.
The top of the slide presents a portrait of Generalissimo Morelos and a depiction of the equestrian statue of José María Morelos located in the city of Guadalajara.
To finish off this custom gun, the frame, slide, barrel, and hardware are all highly polished and feature .999 silver plating in select areas. This historical masterpiece is made complete with Kirnite® grips presenting the silver emblem of the iconic Rampant Colt.
