Cabot Gun Company's New 1911's

[The Legion]

I was on Massab Ayoob's blog page tonight and thought this might be interesting for all to see.  These are several 1911's made by Cabot Gun Company out of Pennsylvania. Cabot Guns President and Gun Designer Rob Bianchin had been contemplating the project for some time and wanted to use scrimshaw to detail the work. “As the guns are positioned in opposite directions, the grips show President Barack Obama facing to the left while President George W. Bush faces right,” said Bianchin. “While oriented towards one another, the right-hand pistol depicts Ted Nugent and the left-hand gun depicts Piers Morgan, representing the great ongoing debate in 2013 Which 1911 would you want to own?

I love 1911s, but that's probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen done to what are otherwise fine firearms.

Nothing by Cabot....

Something's wonky about their pictures - besides having Obama on a 1911.  I'm assuming they mean that top picture to look like both sides of the same firearm, but neither has a safety or slide release.  Likewise, on the bottom, both contain safeties and slide releases.

 

So, I think their scrimshaw guy got the grips wrong and they tried to compensate for the pictures.  According to the grips, you either get the Obama/Morgan model or the Bush/Nugent model.

With further inspection, these have been photoshopped - unless that Obama/Morgan model is a left-handed 1911.

 

Fitting maybe, but man would that ever offend some folks.

Ugh, WTF?

Why do some people just have to mess with things?

I would never buy or trust a gun that was built by someone on dope.  :)

If I won a 500 million dollar lottery I wouldn't buy that 1911.  This smells funny.

LMAO...Obama Grips

 

Well,I guess at the end of the day Obama is #1 gun salesman of all time

Maybe the left handed, Obama model is because he is left handed.

 

The photos are photoshopped some but both could actually be built.

Checked out their website, No, a thousand times No. Those prices are higher than anything I have ever seen for a 1911. Think double Wilson Combat prices. But they do include a magazine.

I'm all for new designs and such but this just seems REALLY far-fetched for me. Pass...

Sorry but Cabot Guns are not all that, probably the most overpriced 1911 out there they've been known to use the "Kimber" plastic MSH. on their $5000+ guns.

They'd prob get big money if they put honey doodoo on the left and a pornstar on the right.....what were they thinking ?....
