MODEL - WILDEY SURVIVOR 1st GAS PISTOL COMMEMORATIVE SN - 45-638 CALIBER - 45 WIN MAG CAPACITY - 7-ROUND MAGAZINE BARREL LENGTH - 8" SIGHTS -REAR ADJUSTABLE SIGHT WITH FIXED FRONT SIGHT OVER VENT RIB GRIPS - CHECKERED WALNUT GRIP PANELS WITH SMOOTH BORDER The Wildey Survivor 1st Gas Pistol Commemorative in .45 Win Mag is an iconic piece of firearms history, combining cutting-edge engineering with a uniquely American aesthetic. Manufactured by Wildey Firearms Co. in Cheshire, Connecticut, this semi-automatic pistol was designed to harness the powerful .45 Winchester Magnum cartridge—one of the most potent rounds available for handguns at the time. This particular model, featuring an 8" barrel, incorporates Wildey’s signature gas-operated action, a system that distinguished the firearm as the world’s first gas-operated semi-automatic pistol. The gas system allowed shooters to customize the level of gas vented from the barrel, adjusting for different ammunition loads and recoil preferences, offering unprecedented versatility and control. The commemorative edition boasts intricate scroll engraving, complemented by symbols of American liberty, including liberty bells and an eagle, marking its special place in Wildey’s legacy. These details, combined with the presentation hardwood case, emphasize its status as a collector’s piece rather than just a functional firearm. The checkered walnut grip panels with smooth borders provide a firm yet comfortable hold, while the rear adjustable sight and fixed front sight over the vent rib ensure precise aiming. The pistol retains its excellent condition, with faint wear from storage and handling, maintaining a clear bore with sharp rifling. The smooth action and crisp trigger reflect the quality and care put into its manufacture. The Wildey Survivor gained further notoriety in popular culture, immortalized in films like Death Wish 3, where Charles Bronson wielded it as a symbol of raw power and justice. As such, the commemorative version serves not only as a high-powered firearm but also as a piece of cinematic and cultural history. This example stands as a tribute to American craftsmanship and innovation, a firearm that pairs the brute force of the .45 Win Mag with the refined elegance of Wildey’s design philosophy.
