The Auto-Ordnance company – a Kahr Firearms Group brand – introduces ther new United We Stand 1911 pistol, a custom-grade variant of America's most iconic and quintessential semi-automatic handgun, entirely dedicated to the flag and core values of the US!
Auto-Ordnance is a well-known brand owned and operated by the Kahr Firearms Group, focusing on classic firearm designs for sport shooting, hunting and personal and property protection such as 1911-A1 type pistols, M1 carbine variants, and civilian-grade semi-automatic versions of the legendary Thompsons sub-machine gun.
Among the newest entries in the Auto-Ordnance line of 1911 variants for 2021 is the United We Stand 1911 .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol, a custom-grade creation based on Auto-Ordnance's competition-oriented 1911 TCAC6 pistol, modified to celebrate the spirit of union and strength through union itself that is at the very core of American values.
The motto "United we stand" comes from Matthew, 12:25 («Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand») – a verse that can be found engraved on the left side of the stainless steel slide on this fantastic pistol, featuring front and rear slide serrations, a set of lightening cuts on the left side, and a marvelous decoration that reprises the stars-and-stripes pattern of the Old Glory.
