A true custom! When our Director of Sales and Operations heard that the Molon Labe was not going to be produced with checkering anymore, and there were going to be words added to the slide, he decided the time for a true custom was here. Mike asked that Ed Brown produce the Molon Labe with frontstrap checkering and remove the forward cocking serrations, and any un-necessary words and logos. Here it is, a truly sleek and beautiful fighting pistol. Supplies are limited, and you will not find one like it anywhere else.
Here's are the attributes of this outstanding fighting pistol:
* The classic 1911 design, 5" Government model.
* Hand fit and assembled by master pistolsmiths.
* Rear cocking serrations.
* The famous Greek phrase "Molon Labe" in Greek letters, laser
engraved on the left side of the slide. Translated as "Come and
Take Them", it is a classical expression of defiance, and is
similar to the phrase "From my cold dead hands". It was written by
Plutarch that King Leonidas of the Spartans replied "Molon Labe"
in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans lay
down their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. Since
then, Molon labe has frequently been used by many leaders in order
to express an army's or nation's determination to not surrender.
* The famous Spartan battle helmet is engraved in the custom G10 grips.
* Ed Brown's custom checkering treatment on the front strap and
mainspring housing for both comfort and a rock-solid grip in any
situation.
* Tritium front night sight. Having tritium only in the front sight
allows for faster and more reflexive close quarters response in
low-light situations.
* Wide (.156) notch, plain black rear sight by 10-8 Performance. The
wide notch provides faster front sight acquisition at typical
handgun fighting distances. It's also great for older shooters
whose eyes may not be quite as sharp as they once were. The rear
of the sight is serrated to prevent glare across the back of the
rear sight.
* Solid aluminum trigger.
* Slide stop is serrated.
* Ed Brown's famous high-rise beavertail grip safety with memory
grooves.
* Ed Brown Maxi-well magazine funnel for rapid magazine changes -
because at pistol fighting distances time matters.
* Single side thumb safety is standard.
* Pistol is finished with Ed Brown's high quality black "Gen III"
coating for appearance and wear resistance.
