Title: Cabot Guns
Post by: BAC on February 07, 2012, 07:15:46 AM
I just found out about this place over the weekend at the show in Harrisburg.  It would seem there's a custom 1911 manufacturer in my county.  It's called Cabot Guns and it's in (appropriately) Cabot, PA, which is 12 miles from my house.

They should be good.  The least expensive model I saw on their website has an MSRP of about $4700!

They even make a left-handed model!

Funny what goes on right under your nose, isn't it?

$4700 and they put $25 grips on them ? WTF ?
I've got the exact same grips on my RIA.

"Good"?  At $4700.00 they better be able to hand load their own ammo and clean themselves!

C'mon Haz, there are members of this forum who can't clean themselves.

I really like the last one in the pics..........don't know if it's worth (?) the asking price.....



I thought cats were pros at cleaning themselves??
Of course, I guess that all depends on what they've been into...........  ;)  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Look, I merely wanted to point out the fact that a company near my home (for now) was making really high quality 1911s.  I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition!

Someone was bound to post that. I figured I'd get it over with.

OT Those pistols look good. Just not $4700 worth of good.

That's just the thing.  Most of them are over $5000.
