Lots of people claim to have a one-of-a-kind firearm, but this design truly is. Gun maker Jesse James has created one 1911 that is engraved and designed to commemorate President Donald Trump’s term in the White House. The 1911, which was modified to include a longer barrel so the inscription could fit, was on display at the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas last week.

James said he only made one of the guns, and he hasn’t decided whether to give it to Trump as a friend or to make a more formal presentation, which would mean the gun would later end up in the presidential museum.

Trump’s name is engraved on one side of the barrel; the other side reads “The 45th President of the United States.” The grip includes an etching of the presidential seal.

Trump was the only decidedly pro-gun candidate in the 2016 election, so it’s fitting that a gun should be designed in his honor.
