To honor our country’s 250th anniversary, Chiappa USA offers the 1911 Field Special 250th Independence Edition. In a nod to the semiquincentennial, there will only be 250 Independence Edition 1911s available. Celebrate your independence with this limited-production commemorative pistol. Nothing says “Freedom” like a 1911 wrapped in American flag etching.

Building on Chiappa’s full-size 1911 Field platform, the 250th Independence Edition bonds American handgun heritage with commemorative styling. Taking a completely different approach to “bluing” a gun, the 1911 features a durable Blue Navy Cerakote finish. It is seriously blue. Like, American flag blue.

Its finish is enhanced by an intricately laser-etched commemorative design. The right side is adorned with stripes running diagonally throughout the grip and slide. At the end of the slide are four stars. Finally, it features the required markings, like serial number, model, etc.
