SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, has announced the release of two exclusive, non-retail custom Colt 1911 pistols dedicated to the city of St. Augustine, Florida. The firearms commemorate the upcoming inaugural SK Gives Back Sporting Clays Open, scheduled for November 3, 2025, at the Saltwater Shooting Club.
The event, hosted in partnership with Kids & Clays, will benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities and other local nonprofit organizations. The commemorative 1911s will be offered exclusively for live auctions during SK Guns events, with proceeds supporting community programs through the SK Gives Back initiative.
“Since relocating earlier this year, we are extremely proud to call St. Augustine home,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “The city’s rich history, heritage, culture and appreciation for craftsmanship make it the perfect spot for SK Guns to continue to grow. We are excited to introduce the SK Gives Back Sporting Clays Open as another way we can regularly contribute to the betterment of our new home.”
The first firearm is a highly polished stainless-steel Colt 1911 with Aqua Pearl grips featuring the iconic Colt Rampart emblem. The right side of the slide depicts the historic Bridge of Lions spanning the Matanzas River, as well as the Great Seal of the State of Florida. The left side of the slide is adorned with the Old Spanish Watch Tower, also known as the St. Augustine Lighthouse. The back of the left side of the slide contains a graphic of the state of Florida that pinpoints the location of St Augustine. The top of the slide is embellished with a portrait of Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles – the founder of St. Augustine – and an illustration of the Castillo de San Marcos.
The second firearm is a highly polished Royal Blue Colt 1911, featuring Sand Pearl grips with the iconic Colt Rampart emblem. Featured on the right side of the slide is the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine and the state seal of Florida. Engraved on the left side is the Port of St. Augustine as it would have been in 1754, as well as a graphic of the state that distinguishes St. Augustine. The top of the slide contains an illustration of St. Augustine’s founder and the famed Great Cross at Mission Nombre de Dios.
