Cabot Guns OAK Collection consists of one of a kind deluxe 1911 pistols and it’s really more like an art gallery than a gun collection. The latest addition to this collection is the Cabot Titan pistol which has been in making for over two years. This masterpiece is engraved by  Lee Griffiths, a FEGA master engraver and author of many other fine firearm engravings including other Cabot guns such as the incredible  Dragon Fire pistol.

Cabot Guns has announced the reintroduction of the National Standard pistol. Made with a combination of precision machining and hand fitting, this pistol is advertised to be “a benchmark that sets the modern standard for an American classic“. Let’s see what features this 1911 packs.

In celebration of their 10th anniversary, Cabot Guns has released a new collection of deluxe 1911 pistols. Just like other Cabot pistols, each of the eight 10 Year Anniversary Collection guns is unique, however, what all these pistols have in common are the parts made of Damascus steel, a material that Cabot Guns extensively uses in creating their incredible handguns. The Damascus steel used in these pistols was supplied by some of the most renowned master blacksmiths like  Robert Eggerling.

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.

Brannon LeBouef of NOLATAC and the St Bernard Indoor Shooting Center reports back after 6 months and over 1000 rounds with the Alchemy Custom Weaponry “ Brimstone” 1911 from Cabot Guns, in 45 ACP, in the Concealed Carry Officer size. This is a high-end custom 1911 handcrafted by a single gunsmith. This gun is flat out sexy! NOT being a “1911 guy”, this gun won Brannon over. With an MSRP of around $2500, this is a “gentleman’s gun” that can also be a workhorse when she needs to get her hands dirty.

Cabot Guns, our favorite purveyor of guns we can’t afford, started in 2016 a collaboration with Sandrin Knives of Italy. We saw here a taste of it, on a high-end custom knife matching the level of Cabot Guns 1911 creations. Now we get the chance to order more usable and affordable EDC models, at a special introductory price.

Cabot Guns has kindly provided us an exclusive first look at their latest work of art – the Fire & Ice set. The items included in this set are made with the use of rarest materials perfectly mated together by Cabot Guns masters creating this symphony of shapes and lines. Cabot Guns describes the philosophy of this project as follows:

Cabot, most famous for crafting a matching pair of 1911s from a meteorite has released a press release detailing the company’s acquisition and future production of Alchemy Custom Weaponry, a small but specialized handcrafted 1911 manufacturer. Alchemy Custom Weaponry was started and still currently has Rob Schauland as the head manager of the company he started in Illinois in 2011. Through the merger, he now heads up Cabot’s manufacturing facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana. From the press release-

Last week, Miles V and I got a chance to check out Cabot Guns. They are only 40 minutes from my house. Nestled in a corner of the Penn United Technologies building across the street from the Lernerville Speedway is a treasure trove of high end 1911s made of some really exotic materials.

Cabot Guns makes some interesting 1911s. They are known for their unique 1911s like the one made from a meteorite or the Damascus 1911. They have made some political 1911s in the past as well. Well they have made this to celebrate President Elect Donald Trump. It is all gold plated and over the top.

I jest of course, but Cabot Guns really is building left-handed 1911s for you southpaws! The world rejoices now that the other 10% of the population can enjoy the historic and elegant design just as John Moses Browning intended. The new pistol is dubbed the South Paw S-100 Edition and will feature a fully inverted design that Ned Flanders would kill to own.

Now we all love TFB for its motto “Firearms Not Politics,” and so I will stick to the factual details of these one-of-a-kind 1911s made by the folks at Cabot Guns. These are just too unique and have to be shown outside the confines of SHOT Show.

1911 aficionados may get a kick out of Cabot Gun’s new “American Joe” model. It’s distinctly American with the American flag grips, American stars punched out on the trigger, and “USA” engraved on both sides of the slide.

Cabot Guns is a newcomer to the 1911 industry who focuses on high-end 1911 pistols. In 2012, sponsored shooter Brian “Gunny” Zins (from Top Shot Season 2) won the NRA National Pistol Championship with an out-of-the-box Cabot. It was also Cabot’s first year in that competition, a very impressive feat for both the pistol, and the shooter.
