Collecting and evaluating premium 1911 pistols requires attention to finish quality, mechanical integrity, and historical lineage. For enthusiasts who value ornamental engraving paired with factory-grade function, there are few offerings that balance artistry and shootability as well as purpose-built custom 1911s.
COLT Customized: 1911
Design and Finish
The COLT Customized: 1911 pairs a traditional full-size 5″ barrel platform with a high-polish, plated presentation.

Upgraded white pearl polymer grips provide contrast and a secure purchase while keeping the overall aesthetic museum-quality. This unit is sold new in a box with factory case, manual, papers, gun lock, and one 7-round magazine, priced at $3,499.99 — a clear premium collectible market placement. Shop this product
Engraving and Craftsmanship
Mayan Aztec Motif
The in-house “Mayan Aztec” engraving is executed at Top Gun Armory, using master engraving techniques that emphasize depth and symmetry across the slide and frame. Mirror-finish polishing before plating enhances the contrast between engraved reliefs and gold surfaces. For collectors, the combination of hand work and plated finishes is what differentiates a display-grade 1911 from a standard service pistol.
Technical Specifications and Practical Notes
This is a single-action, semi-auto Colt 1911 chambered in .45 ACP with a 5″ barrel, overall length of 8.5″, weight around 35 oz, and a capacity of 7+1 with the supplied magazine. It retains classic 1911 controls — manual thumb safety and grip safety — along with a service hammer and long trigger for a traditional feel. The configuration makes it suitable for controlled-range shooting and safe handling demonstrations, while the plated finish is best preserved by careful storage and limited use.
