Liberty 1911 "Final Edition" ??

[48flyer]

I wonder what final edition means on the new Liberty SR1911.
Final of the engraved 1911 series?
Final production model for the SR?
Any ideas?

Pure speculation but perhaps a couple different engraving styles were tried before settling on the “final edition”.

Final edition or otherwise, that's a very nice looking slide panel.

They have this "Street Edition". Maybe yours was the final of the "Editions"?

I would assume that final edition has the same meaning as when manufacturers apply the term limited editions...limited to how many they can sell

Both editions are very nice. There is no point in me owning a fancy gun. All I would do is shoot it. I'd have to.

I own a few "fancy" guns and shoot them. No sense in NOT shooting them.

Once a revolver had proven itself worthy of sticking around, Elmer Keith would often have them engraved to “hide the scratches” they would get from regular use.

I can appreciate engraved guns. Some like this one are beautiful. Trouble is too many nooks and crannies to keep clean.

So I would relegate them to art pieces to be displayed. Since I have nether extra money or a place to display them. I will pass on ownership, and admire from afar.

The “FINAL” moniker strikes me as sort of ominous.
