Colt 1911 Al Capone Sweetheart 45 ACP Pistol

This 1911 is the SK Customs recreation of the Colt 1911 known as Al Capone's "Sweetheart," chambered in 45 ACP and made as a limited edition of only 200 pistols, each carrying its series number from 001 through 200 on the rear panel. The pistol follows the classic Colt Government Model pattern, and the frame is marked Government Model. The nickname is widely believed to refer to Capone's wife, Mae.

Floral scroll engraving runs along the slide in the style of the original, alongside period Colt patent roll marks and the "Colt Automatic Calibre .45" Rampart roll marks. The frame, slide and hardware are all polished and blued. The grips are genuine vintage red deer stag, so no two sets look exactly alike. The sights were made to match the original, with an adjustable rear sight and a serrated, staked partridge front. The front strap is checkered to match as well, and a 25 LPI checkered mainspring housing is installed. It makes an heirloom piece for a collection of Prohibition era history, and it is still a working 45 ACP pistol you can shoot.
