Auto-Ordnance is proud to present the third plane in our Winged Warriors series of custom guns based on famous aircraft flown in America’s defense, the “Memphis Belle 1911”! Own a piece of history reimagined with this stunning custom pistol, paying tribute to the legendary WWII bomber, the “Memphis Belle.”
This iconic aircraft, a Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress, became one of the most famous symbols of the US Army Air Corps in WWII after it successfully completed its grueling 25-mission tour of duty over Europe and returned home. Celebrated through documentaries and films, the Memphis Belle represents the courage and resilience of bomber crews during the strategic air campaign.
Expertly finished in durable Cerakote to capture this legacy, the slide features OD Green echoing the aircraft’s livery. Authentic details abound, including the iconic “Memphis Belle” name in classic Cerakote Yellow script on one side, alongside military lettering surrounding the star roundel in Cerakote Navy Blue and Snow White. The opposite side proudly displays mission tally marks represented by distinct bomb silhouettes, mirroring the original bomber’s markings. Complementing the themed slide is a sleek gray frame, with Cerakote Armor Black on the controls. The firearm is finished with unique, textured hard wood grips inset with classic pin-up girl artwork, capturing the authentic spirit and nose art style of the era.
This pistol is a distinctive homage to a celebrated icon of American aviation history and wartime courage, presented on a classic GI 1911 with artwork by the artisans at Altered Arsenal! Chambered in .45 ACP, this GI style 1911 is both a collector’s piece, and a pistol meant to be enjoyed at the range.
