Schmeisser 1911 – Hugo Schmeisser Birthday Edition
Schmeisser GmbH (Ltd.) out of Krefeld, Germany, announced a Birthday Edition of the Schmeisser 1911.
The Schmeisser 1911 Hugo is a classic single-stack 1911 pistol, with all normal features you can expect.
The Schmeisser 1911 is available in either .45 ACP or 9×19 mm, and it can be ordered with adjustable or fixed sights.
Apparently it was for Hugo Schmeisser’s 133:rd Birthday. You could argue that that is a rather weak reason to do a limited edition, but I have seen worse.
Hugo Schmeisser birthday edition!
Today Hugo Schmeisser would have turned 133 years.For this reason we make a limited edition of our 1911 Hugo.

Give me a 1911 Hugo in RAL8000, adjustable sights and in .45 ACP and I’ll be smiling.

I am always wondering how they can write MADE IN GERMANY or MADE IN USA on 1911s and ARs that are obviously manufactured in Asia??
Ive got a Taurus 1911 which looks better..
