Westfield, MA – — Camfour, Inc., one of the nation’s largest distributors of firearms, suppressors, accessories, and ammunition, is proud to announce a new Camfour Exclusive developed in collaboration with Shark Coast Customs in honor of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Marine Corps.
This limited-edition commemorative pistol, which begins with a classic 1911 platform, has been meticulously embellished with imagery inspired by the origins, traditions, and legacy of the Marine Corps. Each engraving pays tribute to the Corps’ storied past, from its birth at Philadelphia’s historic Tun Tavern in 1775, where the first Marines enlisted under Captain Samuel Nicholas, to the battles that forged its reputation.
Prominent among the design elements is the iconic phrase “to the shores of Tripoli,” honoring the Marines’ pivotal role in the First Barbary War and immortalized in the opening lines of the Marine Corps Hymn. The pistol also bears the Marine Corps’ enduring motto, “Semper Fidelis,” symbolizing unwavering loyalty, courage, and commitment.
Why the 1911 Was Chosen
Camfour and Shark Coast Customs selected the 1911 platform specifically because of its deep connection to Marine Corps history. For generations, the 1911 in .45 ACP served as a commonly issued sidearm for Marines, from World War I through World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and into specialized units well into the 21st century. Its battlefield reliability, stopping power, and American-made heritage make it the perfect foundation for a commemorative pistol celebrating 250 years of Marine tradition.
The 1911 is more than a firearm, it’s a symbol of the grit, discipline, and fighting spirit that define the United States Marine Corps.

The limited-edition Camfour Exclusive 250th Anniversary USMC Commemorative is now in stock and ready to ship. Each pistol is built to be both fully functional and display-worthy, giving collectors, veterans, and enthusiasts a distinctive tribute to America’s most storied fighting force.
