Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between Cabot Guns and Alchemy Custom Weaponry (ACW)?

The primary difference lies in manufacturing. Cabot makes every single part in-house, focusing on ultimate quality. ACW sources some parts from other companies, but they are made to very strict tolerances and then meticulously hand-fitted by ACW.

What are some notable features of the Cabot 'Rebellion' pistol?

The Cabot 'Rebellion' is a 9mm single-stack 1911 with an alloy frame and stainless steel slide. Its most significant innovation is the extractor, which loads from the front of the breech face, enhancing reliability and tolerance stacking.

What makes the Cabot 'Nero' pistol suitable for modern use?

The Cabot 'Nero' is designed for versatility, featuring a rail system for lights, a threaded barrel for suppressors, and a flared magwell for quick reloads. It also incorporates glare-reducing cuts on the slide and sights for improved target acquisition.

How does Cabot Guns approach the use of exotic materials like Damascus steel?

Cabot uses Damascus steel for slides and grips on some of their premium models. This material, a laminated metal, is challenging to work with and requires specialized etching and machining to maintain its aesthetic and functional properties.
