Product Description
The new Liberty 1911 is our latest patriotic commemorative pistol, echoing the sentiments of our Founding Fathers in warning all tyrants to tread on American liberty at their peril. Freedom loving patriots have always been prepared to oppose tyranny with the ferocity of a poisonous snake. No better symbol of that exists than the Gadsden Flag, with its legendary motto “Don’t Tread on Me!”
This custom 1911 is engraved with “Liberty..Death” on the right side of the slide, set around the original Presidential Seal. The left side of the slide has the words “Don’t. Tread”, surrounded by the snake from the Gadsden flag. Custom Goncalo wood grips feature 13 stars surrounding the Liberty Bell on the right panel, and “DTOM” on the left. The finish is a custom Cerakote mix of Brown and Black.
This gun starts as an Auto-Ordnance GI Model 1911, made entirely in the United States. It features a 5” barrel, GI sights, and is chambered in .45 ACP. One seven round magazine is included.
Caliber Dictionary

The 45 ACP (45 Auto) was designed by John Browning in 1905 for his prototype semiautomatic pistol that eventually became the legendary Colt 1911, using a .452-inch bullet. Browning proposed a 200-grain bullet; U.S. Army Ordnance, smarting from reports of poor performance of the 38 Long Colt in the Philippines, increased bullet weight to 230 grains for greater stopping power...and the 45 ACP as it is today was adopted in 1911. It remains an iconic and popular handgun cartridge for personal defense and competition, and was used by the U.S. military in submachine guns (Thompson and M3) through the 1970s. Although largely replaced by the 9mm for military use and the 9mm and/or 40 S&W in the law enforcement community, the 45 ACP is still used by the U.S. military and numerous law enforcement agencies in various applications. The standard load remains a 230-grain bullet at 780 to 850 fps, but lighter, faster bullets from 165 to 200 grain, delivering a bit less recoil, are also available. — Craig Boddington
