SK Customs Introduces the Third Edition of the Mexican War of Independence Series

HAYMARKET, Va. September 15, 2023 — SK Customs®, the Nation’s only series driven, limited edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce the release of the limited-edition Generalissimo Jose M. Morelos Colt 1911. This is the third edition of the Mexican War of Independence series, following the success of The Emperor and Premier Presidente.

Morelos, a Mexican priest, statesman, and military commander, is considered a national hero in Mexico. He led the Mexican War of Independence movement, assuming his leadership after the execution of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in 1811. Morelos was one of the first true Mexican nationalists and had a vision of a unified, free Mexico.

“This historically significant war was fought for 11 years and 11 days. It ended over 200 years ago on September 27th, 1821. We’re proud to continue honoring the Mexican War of Independence,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Customs. “We’re thrilled to announce this limited-edition production run of only 200 Full Size Government Model Colt 1911 chambered in 38 Super and give collectors a chance to own a piece of Mexican history.”

Each pistol will include a special engraved edition number. The firearm features intricate engravings on both sides, depicting the 1810 Mexican Independence Coat of Arms, the Congress of Chilpancingo on the day of signing the Solemn Act of the Declaration of Independence of North America and the first Mexican legal historical document which established the separation of Mexico from Spanish rule.

The right side of the firearm is adorned with the Coat of Arms of Morelos along with a depiction of when Hidalgo summoned Morelos to join him shortly after his “Grito de Dolores” (Cry of Delores) starting the revolt for Mexico’s Independence. The top of the slide presents a portrait of Generalissimo Morelos and an illustration of the equestrian statue of José María Morelos located in the city of Guadalajara.

To finish off this custom gun, the frame, slide, barrel and hardware are all highly polished and feature .999 silver plating in select areas. This historical masterpiece is made complete with Kirinite® grips presenting the silver emblem of the iconic Rampant Colt.

This limited-edition Generalissimo Jose M. Morelos pistol is a must-have for any firearms collector or enthusiast. To learn more about SK Guns®, SK Customs® and the history behind each production series, visit skguns.com.

BDE Suppressors by PWS Excel in Comprehensive Testing by PEW Science

Boise, Id., September 6, 2023 – PWS is proud to showcase the results of the recent testing completed by PEW Science on the BDE (Bravo Delta Echo) 762 Suppressor. The renowned PEW Science laboratory provides the public firearm community with meaningful, comprehensive, unbiased sound signature testing and analysis for suppressed weapon systems. Their many decades of experience in this field have culminated into the “Silencer Sound Standard”, which is the “most accurate, comprehensive, and meaningful small arms sound signature rating certification available.” After a comprehensive review of the BDE 762 Suppressor on the Savage Model 10 PC .308, PEW Science gave the BDE a stellar 48.7 PEW Science Suppression Rating. This great rating system that PEW Science has developed showcases the suppressor’s sound suppression in conjunction with the volume of fire, from self-defense and limited hunting engagement all the way up to an extremely high volume of fire. The rating shows that the BDE 762 provided high suppression performance on a tactical or hunting rifle, significantly reducing the hearing damage risk to the operator. Further results from the testing showed that the BDE 762 also offers high performance in both long and short configurations, delivering moderate back pressure in the long configuration and low back pressure in the short configuration.

The BDE line of suppressors started in 2022 with the original 7.62x51mm offering—the BDE 762. All suppressors in the BDE line, including the new BDE 9, BDE 22, and BDE 556 caliber additions are 3D printed out of Grade-5 titanium, which is lighter and stronger than traditionally machined titanium (6al-4V). The 7.62, 5.56, and 9mm modular suppressors in the BDE line are finished with a durable PVD outside coating, while the .22 suppressor is finished with a DLC coating inside and outside for a durable, easy-to-clean finish. Each suppressor includes an exterior textured design that dissipates heat and mirage, regardless of round count. Tapered threading prevents carbon locking and loosening between baffles, while symmetrical internal baffles enhance accuracy. Each 762 and 556 suppressor features the Universal 1.375x24 TPI pattern for compatibility with most suppressor mounts. The 9mm BDE suppressor is equipped with the universal 1.125-28 TPI pattern and the BDE 22 fits standard 1/2x28 muzzle threads. The entire lineup is lighter and quieter than other suppressors on the market, with the BDE 22 currently the lightest 5.7x28mm .22 suppressor on the market.

Blake Young, Director of Engineering at PWS, had this to say: “We are extremely pleased, yet not surprised, to see the exceptional performance characteristics of the BDE 762 from PEW Science. Their professional approach to independent testing is recognized as the leading authority on unbiased suppressor ratings and the results speak for themselves. We look forward to continuing to have Jay and his team review additional models for PWS in the very near future.”

All BDE models are shipping now and available for purchase through select retailers and direct from PWS at https://www.primaryweapons.com/.
