SK Customs Announces “Guerrero,” the Fourth Edition of the Mexican War of Independence Series

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – September 13, 2024 – SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce the launch of the fourth installation of the Mexican War of Independence series, “Guerrero.” This edition celebrates Vincente Guerrero, the second President of the Mexican Republic. 

Guerrero joined the fighting forces of Morelos to battle against Spain early in the war for independence. During his presidency, Guerrero famously abolished slavery in Mexico. The son of a Spanish loyalist, Guerrero was asked for his sword to be presented to the viceroy of New Spain as a sign of goodwill. In response, Guerrero refused saying “LA PATRIA ES PRIMERO” (translated, The Homeland Comes First). This phrase is still referred to today as the motto of the Mexican State of Guerrero and is written in gold letters at the National Palace. 

“We are excited to honor an instrumental figure in Mexico’s war for independence. Guerrero was at the center of iconic moments in Mexican history, such as the Abrazo de Acatempan, and this allowed us to create a truly striking and unique firearm,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. 

The left side of the firearm depicts details of Guerrero’s connection with the indigenous Aztecs, including a Jaguar fighter reflected in his Coat of Arms and within the borders of the motto La Patria Es Primero. Additional shading of the Aztecs flows on the frame and slide flats. 

The right side of the firearm is adorned by the words “Religion, Independence, Union”, which surrounds a depiction of the shield embroidered with the royal crown following a victorious war for independence. This depiction is followed by the Abrazo de Acatempan with Guerrero and Iturbide, while the frame flat continues the indigenous connection with Guerrero and the Aztec Jaguar glyph. The top of the slide features a portrait of Presidente Guerrero and the Mexican eagle and snake relevant to its era. 

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.  

Guerrero is 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.  

The new firearm can be purchased here. MSRP begins at $3,000.00 and is now shipping.
