PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

Cabot Guns---Too Expensive for the average Joe!
I understand the technology and craftsmanship and beauty that was put into these pistols but the average guy nowadays will have a tough time to fork out $$$ for these very expensive toys. I'd probably be scared to handle one of these puppies coz I might scratch the finish or put an idiot scratch by accident. These puppies were meant for the mucho dineros. That's just my opinion man!!! There are lots of other high end 1911s for a lot lesser dinero.

I'm glad someone had the guts to say it! I looked at the 1911A1 clone, saw the price and fell off my seat. YMMV.

I totally agree, for a new company, their base pricing far exceeds anything I could afford or even consider purchasing.

The M1911.ORG E-zine staff is expecting a Test/Evaluation pistol to be delivered toward the end of this month. A thorough review (including pricing, accuracy, reliability, etc.) will be given in the E-zine, after completion of the evaluation.

Stay tuned!

Here's one for just under 5 grand. Really, I don't think so. For that kind of $$$ it better do a whole lot more than just shoot.

Things cost what they cost. There's a lot of very neat stuff out there that I can't afford -- but I still think it's nice that such things are being made.

A Patek-Philippe perpetual calendar watch, a Ferrari Enzo, a case of Grands-Echezeaux Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, etc., are all well beyond my reach. But I'm still glad such things exist. (I did taste the wine once -- many years ago -- incredible.)

Welcome Cabot
Just like to extend a warm Welcome to Cabot Gun. No doubt, these are very expensive pistols and well beyond my reach. However, I'm looking forward to the EZ-Line review and hope they hit the mark with their targeted audience. In the meantime, here's to wishing Cabot much success.

People are paying close attention and are wise shoppers too. I like the looks of Cabot guns, make no mistake, but, like me the average Joe will have to take out some chunk of money from my 401k if I decided to get one of those beauties someday.

Hi all, we're please to be joining the forum. We understand our guns are not accessible to everyone and there are many good options for less money. Our goal is to re-imagine what is possible in terms of applying the state of the art manufacturing technology to a 1911, our favorite gun. Cabot Guns were built with no compromise as to cost. We'll be sharing much information in coming months as to what goes into making a Cabot Gun. We realize the quality of our guns is not needed or desired by all, but that's o.k. with us. We hope this forum will provide a productive dialogue in assisting us to build inspirational 1911's as we continue to build our portfolio.
