Better than a Guarantee
View of a Cabot Frame in our Zeiss Coordinate Measuring Machine accurate to 40,000,000th of an inch
At Cabot Gun we believe the only guarantees worth while are those that are verifiable and can be independently validated every time. Our extreme precision fit of our frames and slides is 0.001 inches. That’s 0.0005 inches(5/10,00th of an inch) on each side of the frame and slide. And those tolerances do not vary by more than 2/10,000th of an inch. To show this we produce a Dimensional Analysis Report created on a Coordinate Measuring Machine accurate to 40,000,000th of an inch.
Each and every frame and slide we produce is built to this exacting precision, unheard of in the 1911 world. This precision is allows for our Clone Technology that allows our components to be interchangeable with no gunsmithing and to extreme fits.
This option is available with all gun purchases. Cost $400. The ultimate provenance and collector’s gun documentation. And only at Cabot Guns.

Come Guns can be seen at select events as indicated on our Shows Where You Can See Cabot page where you can take the Cabot Challenge. Take any random slide and frame and put them together and feel our perfect fit. Now do it again. And again, and again.

Cabot Guns Slide: State-of-the-Art Ultra Precision Fit Component
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.
