When history and modern finishing converge, you get a commemorative firearm that honors legacy while delivering contemporary reliability. This piece is built on the proven 1911 platform and finished with deliberate attention to detail for collectors, veterans, and shooters who value both form and function.
AUTO-ORDNANCE 1911 ARMY 250th Anniversary is a full-size, .45 ACP 1911 that celebrates the Army’s 250th anniversary with laser-engraved artwork, Cerakote contrasts, and period-to-present grip imagery. It’s chambered in .45 ACP with a 7+1 capacity and a 5″ stainless steel barrel—specifications that make it a true 1911 in every mechanical respect.
Heritage and Tactical Finishes
The slide features detailed commemorative engravings: “United States of America” under the ejection port with flank stars, a painted FX Gold Cerakote “250 Anniversary” banner, and bold “ARMY” lettering on the left slide. The top of the slide includes a CNC depiction of the U.S. Army dress uniform accented in Black and FX Gold Cerakote—deliberate cosmetics that tell a story without compromising ergonomics.
Materials and Controls
Upper slide is OD Green Cerakote while the lower frame carries Coyote Tan Cerakote for high-contrast, low-reflective aesthetics. Controls—safety, slide stop and magazine release—are finished in Black Oxide for durability. The serrated steel slide and beavertail frame preserve authentic 1911 ergonomics and handling characteristics.
