OROZCO WAS A NATURAL MILITARY LEADER. IN OCTOBER 1910, HE WAS NAMED JEFE REVOLUCIONARIO (REVOLUTIONARY LEADER) FOR GOING AGAINST THE PORFIRIO DÍAZ DICTATORSHIP. A WEEK AFTER THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION WAR BROKE OUT, OROZCO OBTAINED HIS FIRST VICTORY, AGAINST GENERAL JUAN NAVARRO IN CIUDAD JUÁREZ.
While Emiliano Zapata‘s army kept Díaz’ federal forces busy in the south, Orozco and his armies took over the north. The alliance of Orozco, Francisco Madero, and Pancho Villa captured several key towns in Northern Mexico, including that of Ciudad Juarez, which Madero made his provisional capital.
To pay tribute to Orozco, SK Customs is introducing a limited-edition production run of only 300 Colt 1911 Full Size Government Models chambered in 38 Super. Featuring a high polished royal blue finish with selective silver plating, each pistol will include a special engraved edition number.
