The Auto-Ordnance 1911A1 Marines 250th Anniversary (1911BKOC17) features a Blue, Black, Silver, Red, and Gold Cerakote finish, designed to honor the Marine Corps’ legacy. This commemorative pistol has a white Cerakote frame contrasted against a darker “Midnight Blue” slide, giving the gun the classic custom 1911 look of a lighter colored frame with a darker slide. The slide proudly displays “MARINES” emblazoned in bold lettering on the left side, with “UNITED STATES” and a gold-inlaid “250 YEARS” emblem on the right side. The stocks feature scenes of Revolutionary War-era warriors on the right panel and a depiction of a modern Marine on the left.
Chambered in .45 ACP, this pistol delivers the stopping power and reliability that made the 1911 a legend. Built on the company’s standard 80-series Government format M1911A1, complete with a GI profile slide, fixed sights, and curved mainspring housing. Each pistol ships with one standard 7-round magazine included. The left slide carries a “250 years of Service, 1775 – 2025” crest surrounded by laurel leaf etching, commemorating a quarter-millennium of Marine Corps service and sacrifice.
This is more than a firearm—it’s a meticulously crafted tribute to those who have served and continue to serve in the Marine Corps. Perfect for veterans, active-duty personnel, and collectors who wish to celebrate the brave legacy of the Few and the Proud, this 250th Anniversary edition makes an ideal addition to any collection or display.
