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.

Front and rear checkering of the steel frame

High grip extended beavertail

Extended ambidextrous safety

Stainless match grade barrel perfectly fitted into a solid match bushing

Pre-adjusted match trigger with trigger stop

The 1911 Hugo is Made in Germany. This goes for their AR15s as well.

Gunsweek.com has a YouTube video with some more information about the Hugo 1911 (non limited edition).

I have not been able to find a price, but the link to Schmeisser’s 1911 Hugo website is here: http://schmeisser-germany.com/products/pistol-1911-hugo/

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