For over a century, the 1911 has been a trusted companion in war and at home. While most everyday carry pistols are built for function alone, Cabot Guns sees the carry pistol differently—as something personal, refined, and reflective of the person who carries it. That philosophy led to the Gentleman’s Carry 1911, a 4.25-inch Commander built on a bobtail frame, and later the Ultimate Carry, crafted from 120-layer stainless Damascus steel in extremely limited numbers. Now, that tradition continues with the Damascus Carry—the next evolution of a refined everyday carry 1911, combining timeless design, uncompromising craftsmanship, and the unmistakable character of Damascus steel.
At the heart of the Damascus Carry is its 4.25-inch Commander slide, crafted from stainless Damascus steel and finished to reveal a deep, layered pattern of polished highs and dark lows. The intricate pattern catches the light from every angle, creating a finish that is as distinctive as it is tactile. Beneath its striking appearance is serious performance: Cabot Full Cycle Technology allows the compact Commander slide to cycle with the smoothness and reliability of a full-size 1911 while helping to tame recoil. Angled carry cuts aid reholstering, while aggressive 13-degree rear serrations provide a secure grip during manipulation. Our internal extractor design eliminates the traditional extractor tunnel, creating cleaner lines while reducing potential points of failure.
Every detail of the Damascus Carry is engineered with the demands of everyday carry in mind. The American billet stainless steel frame features a bobtail profile that minimizes printing and carries comfortably beneath a jacket, while precision-machined rhombus checkering on the frontstrap and mainspring housing provides a secure grip without sacrificing comfort. The 4.25-inch match-grade barrel is flush-cut and crowned, delivering groups of less than 1.5 inches at 25 yards. Available in .45 ACP or 9mm, the Damascus Carry can be configured with standard Cabot ledge rear and white-dot front sights, a 14kt white-gold bead front sight, or a low-profile red dot mount compatible with the Trijicon RMR footprint. Every component is purposefully designed to deliver the performance, accuracy, and refinement expected from a Cabot.
The final expression of the Damascus Carry is found in its details. Hand-fitted piano ebony grips, accented by an inlaid Cabot medallion, complete the pistol’s understated black-and-stainless aesthetic with a richness that only fine natural materials can provide. Produced in limited numbers and crafted with the meticulous attention to detail that defines Cabot Guns, the Damascus Carry is far more than an exceptional carry pistol—it is a piece of functional craftsmanship designed to be carried, admired, and passed down. This is the 1911 you reach for when you refuse to compromise between performance and beauty—the Damascus Carry, made for those who carry something exceptional.
