Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 1911 With Brownells on Facebook

Every semi-auto pistol fan knows John Browning's famous 1911 Auto pistol and Brownells is honoring the 100th Anniversary with 1911 Week. From now until May 20th, 1911 fans can submit photos of their custom 1911 pistol to Brownells for a chance to win a 1911 Field Tool Kit (valued over $200). As an added bonus, the winning gun will have an opportunity to be featured as one of the "dream guns" in the next Brownells catalog.

The winner will be selected based on the number of "Likes" their 1911 receives between May 21st and May 31st. The winner will be announced on June 1st on Brownells Facebook page. All gun photos submitted must include a list showing at least eight parts that are available from Brownells. Check facebook.com/BrownellsInc for full contest details.

"We're huge 1911 fans here and wanted to do something special to celebrate its one-hundredth anniversary," said Brownells President Pete Brownell. "We like to see how creative our customers are and thought the contest would be a great way to do that."

Other 1911 Week activities include daily trivia, tech tips and a special promotional discount.

The promotional discount will be available only to Brownells fans so become a "Fan" of Brownells today!
