Greeley, PA: It is said that a “..house divided against itself will not stand.” This wisdom has been repeated by America’s leaders from the founding of our nation, including such patriots as Ben Franklin. This belief has never been truer than today, when Americans seem deeply divided. In these troubled times, Auto-Ordnance calls for Americans to stand together with the new “United We Stand” customized 1911. The slide of this artfully engraved pistol carries the Bible verse Matthew 12:25, saying “Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them ‘every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand’”. The aluminum grips are engraved “In God We Trust”, and depict united hands binding our nation together. The right slide reminds us that “United We Stand”.

It was not so very long ago that these words cemented our nation together in the shadow of the 9/11 terror attacks. The United We Stand 1911 starts as an Auto-Ordnance stainless pistol made entirely in the United States.

The finish is Black Armor Cerakote with a clear coating. It features an adjustable trigger, skeletonized hammer, full-length recoil guide rod, extended beavertail grip safety, extended magazine release, and a checkered slide stop lever. TruGlo night sights with forward swept rear are standard. The ejection port is flared to aid in reliable function. Both mainspring housing and front strap are machined checkered at 20 lines per inch. Each pistol’s 5″ match grade barrel is chambered in .45 ACP. One 7 round magazine is included, SKU# 1911TCAC5N.

HOUSTON, TEXAS – Primary Arms Government has announced their October giveaway, which includes a Walther PDP Compact LE 9mm Striker-Fired Pistol equipped with the NEW co-branded Holosun HS507C-GR-X2 with Green-illuminated ACSS® Vulcan® reticle.

Every month, Primary Arms Government offers a new and exclusive sweepstakes for professional customers only. Active-Duty Military, Veterans, and First Responders may enter for free, earning a chance to win a free firearms package with top-quality parts and accessories. This October, Primary Arms Government is giving away a NEW Walther PDP Compact LE 9mm pistol, complete with the Primary Arms co-branded Holosun HS507C-GR-X2 mini reflex with Green ACSS Vulcan reticle.

The Walther PDP Compact LE is a highly versatile 9mm striker-fired pistol with a 4” precision barrel, an optics-ready slide, forward cocking serration, and Law Enforcement duty trigger system. Well-regarded for both its reliability and performance, the Walther PDP Compact is a highly ergonomic sidearm that any marksman will enjoy, especially when combined with the power of the ACSS Vulcan reticle system.

The ACSS Vulcan reticle has made waves throughout the tactical community for its revolutionary approach to sight acquisition. ACSS Vulcan features a large outer horseshoe, which is only visible if the pistol is aiming off-target. This gives the user an immediate correction angle within the optic, removing the need to transition to iron sights. Combined with the feature-rich technology behind the Holosun HS507C-X2, this mini reflex sight has made a name for itself as one of the most exciting new optics of the year.

“We’re excited to launch a new giveaway for our professional customers,” says Dina Sanders, Brand Marketing Manager. “Walther is renowned for their high-quality service pistols. Combined with the power of ACSS Vulcan, this Walther PDP setup is certain to impress.”
