    Colt USMA 1911

    Something pretty neat, know a West Point graduate. Showed me his gift to himself for making through college. Colt used to make a limited run for Academy graduates, don't know if they still do that.

    Pretty neat. If it doesn't end up as a carry piece, it'd look nice in a shadow box at the end of his career.

    Cool. Lots of companies will do commemorative runs. I've seen them for Navy Squadrons as well as NSW multiple times.

    Yea I'd never seen a factory colt custom like this before, the United States Military Academy USMAxxxx serial number is awesome. His name is also engraved on the right side but he didn't want that divulged so no big picture.

    USMA pistol team does a run every year for each graduating class. Two, sometimes three variants available.

    Nearly always a stainless one like this, the other a blued bling model with gold inlay.

    Very common grad gift from dads.
