[SHOT 2021] The Cabot Apocalypse – The Fifth Horseman Rides

    Cabot Apocalypse

    If you missed your shot at purchasing Cabot’s twin meteorite 1911’s, there is still hope for you to buy a high-end pistol from the Pennsylvania-based company. Today we’re looking at the newly introduced Cabot Apocalypse.

    When the Apocalypse was first released, it sold out within 48 hours. With lead times of 18 months, it’s going to take a while to get your gun, but the company is graciously accepting orders for delivery in 2022.

    What happens when finesse meets function? Enter the Cabot Guns Apocalypse, a pistol that sacrifices nothing in terms of either style with the use of layered Damascus Steel or performance. The Apocalypse is crafted from the ground up as a fighting handgun for the enthusiast who is unwilling to compromise. Inspired by a bespoke custom created for one of our clients, the concept was too great not to replicate.

    The Cabot Apocalypse is a dream if you like options. It can be had in either full size or commander length, as well as .45 ACP or 9mm. It comes with a hand-fit, crown cut, flush fit, stainless steel match grade barrel with the option to come threaded. Each one comes standard with a rail, but buyers have the option to leave it off. Cabot Guns’s proprietary red dot mount is also available and is ready to mount a Trijicon RMR or SRO. The gun comes with the new Cabot Ledge rear sight, but tall suppressor sights are available for those who like a bit more peace and quiet.
