For many collectors, owning a single Custom Cabot 1911 is the crown jewel of their collection, but for those seeking the pinnacle of exclusivity, we created our Gun of the Month Club. This curated series includes six limited-edition 1911 pistols, each crafted with unparalleled precision from the finest materials and delivered bi-monthly. Every pistol reflects Cabot’s commitment to excellence, built to the highest tolerances in the industry. Membership is limited to just 25 collectors, each assigned a unique custom serial number to ensure provenance and exclusivity. This series offers an unmatched opportunity to own a collection that defines the art of American firearm craftsmanship.
The journey to the legendary Model 1911 began long before its adoption by the U.S. Army on March 29, 1911. John Browning’s innovative designs of the mid-1890s introduced the revolutionary concept of the auto-loading handgun, including the first slide-operated pistol—a mechanism still used in virtually every modern firearm today. These early designs laid the groundwork for the enduring masterpiece that is the 1911.
At Cabot Guns, we pay homage to Browning’s early designs by reimagining them in the Cabot 1902. This pistol marries the aesthetics of Browning’s M1900/1902/1905/1907 models with the advanced features of the M1911, creating a unique vision of what might have been. The polished stainless steel slide and heavy-profile dust cover evoke the majesty of America’s rise to power during Roosevelt’s “Great White Fleet” era. Distinctive features such as a spur hammer, short trigger, and grips crafted from harvested from a local “Cabot Tree” reflect the artistry of the time while offering unmatched modern craftsmanship.
The pièce de résistance of the Cabot 1902 is its forward-checkered pads, inspired by the earliest and rarest M1902 Military models. This standout detail not only enhances grip but also connects the pistol to its historical roots, transporting owners to an era when American ingenuity reshaped the world. With the Cabot 1902, we celebrate the legacy of the M1911 and Browning’s genius while pushing the boundaries of firearm design into the future.
