SK GUNS COLT 1911 GOVERNMENT SERIES 70 PRESIDENTE MADERO .38 SUPER – 5″ BARREL – BLUED/GOLD – LIMITED EDITION (Only 300 Made) – SKC-REV-MDERO38

SK Customs presents “PRESIDENTE MADERO,” the fourth production in the historic Mexican “La Revolución” Series.

In 1911, Francisco Madero began his term as the 37th President of Mexico. Madero was a pivotal figure in Mexican history, best known for his role in the Mexican Revolution and his presidency. His greatest achievement was successfully challenging the long-standing dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz and initiating democratic reforms that transformed Mexico’s political landscape.

A wealthy landowner and political activist, Madero authored La Sucesión Presidencial en 1910 (translated: The Presidential Succession of 1910) in which he called for fair elections and democratic governance. His ideas resonated with many Mexicans dissatisfied with Díaz’s authoritarian rule. When Díaz attempted to suppress his opposition, Madero led a revolutionary movement that forced Díaz to resign in 1911, marking a significant victory for democracy in Mexico.

As president, Madero sought to implement political and social reforms. He promoted freedom of the press, encouraged democratic participation, and worked to curb the influence of powerful elites. He also aimed to address land reform.

Despite his good intentions, Madero faced significant opposition from conservatives, foreign interest,s and even former allies. His inability to maintain unity ultimately led to his overthrow and assassination in 1913 during La Decena Trágica, (translated: Ten Tragic Days).

Though his presidency was short-lived, Madero’s legacy endured. He is remembered as the “Apostle of Democracy” in Mexico, inspiring future democratic movements. His leadership set the foundation for the end of dictatorship and the emergence of a new political era in Mexico.

To pay tribute to Presidente Madero, SK Customs is introducing a limited-edition production run of only 300 Colt 1911 Full-Size Government Models chambered in .38 Super. Featuring a high-polished royal blue finish with selective 24k Gold plating, each pistol will include a special engraved edition number.

Keeping the common elements of the Pancho Villa, Venustiano Carranza, and Pascual Orozco productions, the series continues with a depiction of the “Monument to the Revolution” in Mexico City. Wrapped around the slide is a cannas lily, which is native to Mexico, along with an illustration of Madero in 24k Gold plated on horseback with his supporters and army, the still popular slogan of the Revolution, “Sufragio Efectivo No Reelección” (translated: Effective suffrage, no re-election) is engraved inside a 24k Gold banner.

The right side of the slide depicts a 24k Gold illustration of Presidente Madero and his advisors with the word “Triunfante” (translated: triumphant).

To complete the firearm, a portrait of Madero sits on top of the slide, and just below the iconic Mexican Eagle respective to its era.
