Well put and a worthy goal. Welcome to M1911.Org.Originally Posted by CabotGuns
Some beautiful guns that I can't buy here in California. Our Roster of Handguns Approved for Sale is saving me a fortune. If you'd like to really twist the knife, make a classic Combat Commander.
Beautiful pistols.

Nice looking guns, great features, still need more info though... do these guns implement an 80 Series safety? What kinds of materials are used for the frame and slide? Are the parts mil-spec? Oh heck I just saw the pricing $$$$ , these things are out of my price range. I feel like I just walked into a black tie event wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. Sorry... I'll go away...back over to the Armscor threads... :-)
On the Cabot website there's video showing detail stripping. It appears that the guns do not use a firing pin block. And I'd expect that the materials are top notch.

The frames look too square and blocky. Especially around the trigger guard.
The type on the side of the slide looks more like a "Billboard". But hey for $4000 you get Pachmeyer grips on the Rangemaster.

Do we know who will be doing the review?
I too would like to welcome your company.
Consumers will ask themselves "why should I get this over that", which I why I ask "What sets your product apart from Wilson, Baer, Nighthawk, other high dollar 1911s with long running reputations?" I mean this question in the humblest mannor and it is not in anyway meant to be offensive or negative.

Other high-end guns such as the fine brands you mention have to be hand lapped to achieve a good fit. Cabot Guns by Penn United Technologies are made without the need to hand fit components. We do this with proprietary technology we have developed over the past forty years which we apply to build sophisticated high tolerance components for the defence, nuclear and aerospace industries. This is the first time we have applied this technology to a consumer firearm. One benefit is that our components are completely interchangeable, something we call clone technology. At our debut a few months ago at the NRA show we had a display called the Cabot Challenge where we set out a table of frames and slides and consumers could randomly pick any frame and slide and assemble them to experience the clone technology of the parts and the precision of the fit. In addition to a new methodology of constructing components we also wanted to make them aesthetically beautiful. More details as to what has gone into developing our 1911’s will be coming soon. We see what we are doing as not necessarily competing with other guns but to simply offer something different and unique that not has been done before. It will take a few years to build the recognition that existing brands have earned. We just truly love and enjoy making these 1911's.
Uh Frank.....which one of those was the wine?Originally Posted by Frank

Welcome to the forum Cabot Guns!! Very nice pistols but very very expensive. The 1911 classic front strap is squared not rounded as well as the dust cover. I wonder why Cabot Guns decided to make it that way. No offense.
