Our Story
Cabot Guns’ 1911 pistols represent a new standard in the firearms industry. They are the implementation of prideful engineering and precision manufacturing in all that we create – we call it “post custom.” Those two simple words represent a series of promises on the part of Cabot Guns;
The guarantee that out-of-the-box, your new pistol will shoot at a level which exceeds those established as National Match pistol accuracy standards.
The knowledge that the pistol you now hold is the culmination of years of dedication to the pursuit of perfection, that it is the embodiment of precision, and that it represents an uncompromising commitment to furthering American excellence in design and manufacturing.
The promise that your Cabot Guns’ pistol is a truly 100% American product; from the American born solid blocks of billet steel which forms the backbone of all Cabot Guns, to the workers plying their precision trade in the rolling hills of Western Pennsylvania, right down to the optional Mammoth-Ivory grips harvested from the ancient ice fields of Alaska’s great frontier. Every piece of every component can be traced to American roots.
When you take home a Cabot Gun, not only do you lay hands on the “finest pistol ever produced,” (S.P. Fjestad; Author, Editor & Publisher, Blue Book of Gun Values) you also become a part of the Cabot family.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Bianchin, President

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.
