Pistol Construction
The enduring prowess of the American innovation…
The highest engineered 1911 ever made? For sure.
It took 100 years for the 1911 to be made as well or better than the human hand. The new Cabot Guns by Penn United Technologies are a new class of 1911 style pistols. Built to National Match performance standards without traditional hand fitting, we have crafted the world’s first post-custom 1911—our term. Every component on a 1911 has been engineered to exacting standards and tolerances never seen before in gun manufacturing. It gets even better. All components are interchangeable without gunsmithing. Drop-in and go.
This is our legacy. This is American innovation. This is Cabot Guns.
It is our belief if John Moses Browning were around today this is this way if he would have manufactured the 1911.
Only in America and only by Cabot Guns.

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.
