SK Customs Introduces The Saints Series “Santa Muerte”  

SK Guns, a series-driven limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, announces an addition to its Saints Series, the “Santa Muerte.” The release coincides with the “Day of the Dead,” a celebration of the folk saint of Santa Muerte, regarded in Latin American and Mexican Catholicism as a protector of the deceased and the personification of death.

The limited-edition run of only 500 Full-Size Government Model Colt 1911s chambered in .38 Super will include a special engraved edition number on each Santa Muerte pistol. The slide features toned illustrations of roses that believers of Santa Muerte hold sacred, as roses are holy to them, being associated with the Lady of Guadalupe, and because although beautiful and feminine, their sharp thorns will draw blood. 

 Other graphics found on the slide and associated with Santa Muerte include an hourglass, an owl, an oil lamp, and scales alluding to equity, justice, impartiality, and divine will. The symbolic limited-edition Colt is complete with Blood Grips made from Kirinte with the iconic Rampant Colt on both sides. 

“Santa Muerte is a significant addition to our Saints by the Roots series… We are proud to honor the rich cultural heritage and traditions associated with the Day of the Dead by introducing this iconic figure to our custom firearms collection,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. 

The Santa Muerte ships in late November and can be purchased on the SK Guns website with an MSRP of $2750.

Not being a collector of things and seemingly always armed with a rattle can, I wouldn’t really know what to do with such a showpiece. I’m likely to take it to the range and shoot a ton of rounds through it, which is another example of why I can’t have nice things, but maybe you can. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
