Maximus Arms announced the production of a custom 1911 for left-handed shooters.  The pistol is part of the company’s Gladiator line of handguns.  The left handed model has an ambidextrous thumb safety and a magazine release mounted on the right side of the gun’s frame.

MSRP on the guns is $1,776, but the company has a limited time introductory price of $1,661.

From Maximus Arms:

Maximus Arms now offers its Custom Gladiator 1911 with an ambidextrous thumb safety and a left-handed magazine mag release.

We have found that right-hand competitive shooters often have this option added as it allows faster magazine exchange for them as well.

The custom-built Gladiator is currently being reviewed by a number of both online and print publications.

Each individual part is carefully hand-fitted. Next, the edges are melted (contoured) for seamless comfort. Each Gladiator passes through a strict quality control process by the QC department.

“Every stage of producing a Custom Gladiator 1911 includes a precise quality assessment. There is no room for error at Maximus Arms. Our aim is to produce the finest 1911 possible,” said Tony Bellione, cofounder of Maximus Arms.

While industry standards dictate a substantially higher price-point for a custom gun, this custom built, 100% American-made pistol is available for a suggested retail price of only $1,776. However, for a brief time first-time buyers can enjoy the firearm for the introductory promotional price of $1,661.
