CGI/Classic
A CONTEMPORARY TAKE ON THE ORIGINAL GOVERNMENT ISSUE M1911 A1 PISTOL
We’ve re-imagined the 1911 in contemporary form. With our feet firmly planted in the pedigree and tradition of the original model 1911 pistol, we’ve seamlessly combined old and new; creating a modern pistol with vintage swagger. In short, the CGI/Classic is a 1911 updated to reflect over 100 years of innovation, quality, and American ingenuity.

For those seeking the modern elegance of an established fighting pistol without sacrificing the traditional poise associated with the model 1911; there’s Cabot Guns’ CGI/Classic. Where the GI/Classic reflects the pinnacle of “perfectly original,” the CGI/ Classic adds a bit of contemporary spin. This is the pistol that incorporates all of the modern design changes that have kept the 1911 current over one-hundred years of operational use, and other innovations that are uniquely-Cabot.
A flared ejection-port frames a polished “Post-Custom” National Match Grade barrel; ensuring consistent casing removal, action cycling, and the better-than-National-Match accuracy you’ve come to expect from your out-of-the box Cabot 1911. Subtle changes to the GI 1911 design give the shooter a more stable grip, and steadier close-range sight picture. We’ve added striations to the rear strap of the CGI/Classic, and widened the front post on the iconic GI sights atop this pistol. These small alterations preserve the classic feel of the 1911 pistol, while increasing the ease with which the pistol is gripped and the speed with which the eye can acquire the next target – in short; everything old is new again.
Visually striking to behold in our Semi-Polished Bright Blued finish, the CGI/Classic’s blend of old and new features standard a set of beautiful Wicked Grips Box Elder grips; giving your pistol the classic look and feel of a wooden-gripped 1911 while incorporating the exotic look of knurled American Box Elder. A modern aluminum trigger, polished feed ramp, and 16.5lb recoil spring round out a pistol that truly proves that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
This is the pistol that will go on Safari with you; the piece of art that starts campfire conversations; the reliable and durable American-made firearm that bears the torch of American excellence for all to see and feel. The CGI/Classic isn’t quite Gran-Daddy’s gun; but give it some time, you’ll be a Gran-Daddy one day

Yes. We offer the world’s first “post custom.” Our term. Cabot 1911′s are not just another pistol. Never ever. We’ve been living this creation for years. Cabot 1911’s are a new standard of quality never seen before in the gun world.
And, we dare say, a perfect fit. The frame and slide are manufactured to fit more accurately than can be done by the human hand. In fact, the tightness of our fit is 0.001 inches. This is our own long-earned and long-invested proprietary technology.
With attitude and pedigree. That’s how we approached the manufacture of our 1911 guns along with a refusal to settle for anything less than the best of both. Specifically, we challenged America’s top engineers, machinists and master craftsmen to build the perfect precision handgun from scratch without compromise and what resulted is a superior collection of 1911 pistols made from only the finest of materials, technology and minds that this great country has to offer.

It’s simple. Every one of our 1911 pistols exceed national match standards right “out of the box.” Less simple is what that took to achieve: The parts on every frame and slide production run are inspected by a coordinate measuring machine accurate to 40 millionth of an inch to confirm the aerospace tolerance fit of our guns. When the all-time greatest bullseye pistol marksman picks a gun to shoot it's a Cabot.
