A Word from SK Customs on the 5th Edition of Mexican Independence Series

“St. Augustine, Florida - September, 2025 - SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce the fifth installment of the Mexican Independence series. This latest firearm honors Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Mexican priest who is regarded as the Father of the Nation.

“Hidalgo’s role in the independence movement emerged from his deep frustration with the injustices faced by the lower classes under Spanish rule, including heavy taxation, land dispossession and racial discrimination,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “Hidalgo was not just involved in this movement; he was the movement. We realized early on that Hidalgo was the only option to be the culmination of our Mexican independence series.””
