bonglee0507 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi, has anybody tested this 1911? Just saw the website and it looks awesome but the price is sky high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Got to shoot a couple last month. Seemed very nice. The machining is incredible. They said you can take any part from any gun and swap it out and it will fit perfectly. Felt just like a hand fit top notch 1911. I've got a customer that ordered one so when it shows I'll see another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The ones that I handled at SHOT weren't fit to how I would imagine it would be. For the money spent it and all the tech talk, one would think that it was well fit. The BTGS wasn't the nicest fit, barrel fit was loose to ok, they said they invented how the front sight was installed (which is how Paul Liebenberg - Pistol Dynamics does them), never gave numbers on accuracy (just saying they shoot pretty good), on one of the display models the grip safety didn't work. The back corner of the grips overhang the MSH a little. The plus side is that the slide was smooth on the frame with no lube, though the fit was looser that I would expect.

jrbet83 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I don't know, looking at the pics on their site, their finish work looks less then staler......for a 5-6k gun. Most of the thumb safeties aren't blended that well and the back of the slide (ejector and extractor) aren't machined flush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If the parts are interchangeable between guns they sound like they are machine fit rather than hand fit. Any hand fit parts are not going to swap around. If parts can be interchanged the tolerances can't be very tight. That would account for what Quack stated in his post about fit.

ltdmstr Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I saw them a while ago and was amazed at the machining and the ability to swap slides and frames with pretty much perfect fit. Saw some later and they were not as good. So I'm not sure what's up. They are machining these from plate steel, and grinding to final dimensions, that's how they can hold such tight tolerances.

ltdmstr Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Haven't had a chance to shoot one. But I can't see how it's going to be better than any other 1911 built with good slide to frame fit and proper barrel installation. Durability will be better than a cast frame, but probably the same as forged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polizei1 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Check this out: http://www.1911addicts.com/showthread.php?9995-Cabot-firearms http://www.1911addicts.com/showthread.php?3157-HAHAHA!-At-it-again http://www.1911addicts.com/showthread.php?1342-Mr-amp-mrs-dat-go-to-cabot-guns Now I do have to say...from the pictures, what's been said on the forums, and the price-point...there's no way in HELL I'd buy one. If you're spending that much money, it better be a custom by a well known smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
