SK Guns of St. Augustine, Florida, has begun selling Charro Negro as the first model in its Folklore Series. The firm, which builds only limited custom firearm series, produced 200 full-size Government Colt 1911 pistols in .38 Super, each marked with an engraved edition number.

The name comes from a Mexican folk figure called the Black Horseman, a nighttime rider in a black charro suit on a black horse who meets lone travelers and offers gold or help that can carry a heavy cost, often after a pact over riches.

The left slide uses selective 24-karat gold and .999 silver plating, with a gold horseshoe on the rear panel and a cathedral, money bag, and skull on the flats amid poppy floral scrollwork tied to death, resilience, and healing.
