Cabot Guns is known for their precision 1911’s, and they boast that four out of the last seven years’ bullseye contests have been won with their guns. Well, now they’ve added Charley to their lineup.
Charley is a 416 stainless steel 1911 with a bobtail and ironwood grips. The front and back straps feature machined rhombus checkering for a positive grip. The front end is slimmed with carry cuts and the whole thing feels great in your hand. It’s available with black sights with tritium, but ACW sights are standard. The signature tristar trigger is milled aluminum. Charley is available in 9mm or .45, and 10mm is available upon request.

And I thunk my 20 yr old Wilson Combat was expensive. Nice to have these things being made…but c’mon. With decent 1911s priced from 450 out the door 1000 dollar Kimbers and this at this price point…how many can they realistically expect to sell??
Nice piece and I’d love to have one.
For $4500, though…not ever going to happen.
