Wilson Combat has introduced the America 250th Limited Edition 1911 Series, a special commemorative lineup of custom 1911 pistols created to honor the 250th anniversary of American independence.
Built on a fully custom Wilson Combat 1911 platform, the America 250th series combines the iconic American fighting pistol with exclusive engraving created specifically for the United States Semiquincentennial. Each pistol is built in all domestically sourced stainless steel and finished with a unique serialized frame, deluxe satin-polished flats, glass-beaded rounds, gold-bead front sight, hand-checkered rear slide, magwell, ambidextrous safety, fluted chamber, carry cuts and other premium custom features.
The series is offered in two distinct engraving treatments.
The first twenty-five pistols, Serials 1–25, are personally hand engraved by renowned master engraver Wayne D'Angelo, making them the most exclusive expression of the America 250th series. These pistols represent a rare opportunity to own a true hand-engraved Wilson Combat 1911 created for one of the most significant milestones in American history.
Beginning with Serial 26 and beyond, the America 250th design is rendered in-house using precision laser engraving. These models carry the same commemorative engraving pattern and visual theme as the hand-engraved originals, while offering collectors and Wilson Combat customers broader access to the series.
Orders for the America 250th Limited Edition 1911 Series remain open through December 31, 2026. Availability is limited to select configurations. For more information, visit wilsoncombat.com.
