Cabot Precision 1911s – Lefty Too! – SHOT Show 2013

So what happens when a bunch of aerospace and nuclear engineers get together with machinists from the same areas of expertise to create a 1911?
You get a pistol scientifically engineered to incredible tolerances and specificity.
These are not hand-fitted guns.
At these tolerances you can take the parts from one gun,
put them on another, and the fit and function is perfect.
So no “fitting” is necessary. Needless to say,
it wasn’t long until Cabot Guns became a portion of Penn United.
The price tag on something like this is hefty, $5,000 to $10,000 a pistol.

I can see some Bawanna grips on these guns.

Yeah, I am just reading this article. 1911s made by a bunch of aerospace and nuclear engineers to incredible tolerances so that parts can be exchanged from gun to gun with no "fitting". If I ever win the lottery, one of those South Paws will be mine! :wof:

I love the whole idea of these. Made so precisely, like tooling, that they need no hand fitting. I don't know how much I would shoot one, if I ever had a mind to actually lay out the $ for one.

I'd shoot the heck out of it over at your range and let you shoot the heck out of it too. Just the kind of guy I am.

Yeah, I would have too. It's all for the stories anyway.
