COLT 1911 CINCO DE MAYO 38 SUPER AUTO 5″ 9-RD SEMI-AUTO PISTOL SKC-CDM-38

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Battle of Puebla in 1862, where a vastly outnumbered Mexican army, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza, achieved a remarkable victory over French forces. Cinco de Mayo marks a triumph: a symbol of resistance, unity, and national pride.

Cinco de Mayo remains a celebration of Mexican resilience, culture, and courage, in Mexico and across the United States. We celebrate this day with a limited edition ONE of 500 high-polished royal blue Colt 1911 chambered in .38 Super.

On the left side of the slide, we caption the Battle of Pueblo with Mexican General Zaragoza and a French rival in battle on horseback. The forward slide is decorated with the indigenous Lily flower in 24k gold. The slide and frame feature are decorated with Calavera de Azucar (translated: Sugar Skulls) along the front and back of the slide, elegantly adorning the frame dust rail, completing the art with the iconic Colt serpent logo on the rear panel.

On the right side of the slide, we honor this holiday with the Mexican flag and the caption “Cinco De Mayo,” mirroring the left side, and the Lily flower is decorated all in 24k gold. The top of the slide has General Ignacio Zaragoza’s name in a stylish font with a portrait. Below the General’s portrait, the years 1829-1862 are engraved into a 24k gold ribbon to commemorate his success against the French occupancy. A subtle scroll decorates the chamber with the iconic Mexican Eagle of the era.

The grips are presented on presentation black Kirinite® grips with 24k gold grips screws and the iconic Colt Rampart inserts.
