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.

Awesome. I like everything I saw there. The lock box/ display case, the straight forward pistol, the box elder grips, etc. That is NICE! Though, as a friend, I'm sorry to see you have to test another Cabot gun. You poor guy....

Excellent review Steve, I've been waiting on that, just to read your thoughts on it. While I'd find it hard to spend that kind of money, guess I can add it to the dream list.

Definately coming across as 1st class all the way, from my way of looking at it. Somthing to be said for having the finest. If I had the dollars, I'd be happily sending them to Cabot. Fine review.

Thanks for the pics and info.

I'd like it better without the square-ish frame contours at front-strap and dust cover.

That dust cover is gonna be an issue with fitted leather, much like the middle-year Springfields were when they had a similar contour.

A Colt contour of both surfaces would be better, IMO.

How much more will they charge for a pistol that has features other than GI? While I understand custom work can be expensive, I have a bit of sticker shock; and this from a guy with two Wilsons and two Custom Jobs from Hank Fleming.

The prices for the "RangeMaster" and the "Jones 1911" are listed on Cabot's web site. As far as the custom work that Rob mentioned to me today, I haven't a clue.

I can fully understand the "sticker-shock", and mentioned this in my review. If you are interested, I'm sure you could give Rob a call, and he would go over the various options with you.

EDIT
To those of you who have read the gun review, and responded in this thread, my sincere "thanks" for your interest.

Thanks. I took a look, it seems they are all in that range, I guess I was more looking to customizing vs custom features I suppose. This is more properly a question for them as the site is not very clear on this subject. I emailed them and will report back here!
