The Perseverance pistol pays tribute to our first Artisan Damascus 1911, aptly named The Damascus, which debuted in 2013 and set a record price of $50,000 for a new, non-engraved handgun. Its creation was a formidable challenge, with Damascus steel machining baffling top machinists and toolmakers. The time and expense were so daunting we initially doubted we’d ever produce another. Yet, fueled by pride and determination, we persevered, mastering the art of crafting Damascus 1911s. This journey defined us as leaders in this medium and exemplified our commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.
The Perseverance is a full-size 1911 featuring a hand-forged Herringbone Damascus slide, machined to aerospace tolerances, with monolithic block styling and precise cocking serrations. The full-frame lower boasts rhombus checkering, hand-polished flats, and a black ice plasma DLC finish. Its mammoth-tooth grips, gold titanium nitride accents, and disco-ball gold bead front sight showcase elegance and artistry. Functional features include an extended one-piece extended magwell with rhombus checkering for balance.
A bold homage, Perseverance celebrates American craftsmanship, ingenuity, and the enduring legacy of the 1911. It embodies the tenacity that defines the American spirit and the preservation of industrial arts.
