Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Cabot Inversion 1911 a 'left-handed' firearm?

The Cabot Inversion is a fully left-handed 1911 where nearly all components are reversed. This includes the ejection port, slide release, magazine release, and critically, the barrel is machined for opposite bullet spin, offering a true left-handed shooting experience.

How did Cabot Guns develop the Inversion 1911?

The idea for the Inversion stemmed from a customer request for a left-handed 1911. Cabot's CEO, Rob Bianchin, and his team embraced the challenge, leveraging their in-house manufacturing and obsessive perfectionism to re-engineer the entire platform.

What are some unique features of Cabot Inversion sets?

Cabot offers elaborate matching sets, including right-hand and left-hand Inversion models. Some sets feature exotic materials like Damascus stainless steel slides and frames, and small parts made from 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite.

What is the significance of the Inversion barrel?

The barrel in the Cabot Inversion is specifically machined to make the bullet spin in the opposite direction compared to a standard right-handed 1911. This detail contributes to the gun's functional inversion and the intended shooting experience.
