An object once intended to suppress the colonies now serves as part of a firearm celebrating American liberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-american-symbols-throughout\">American Symbols Throughout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The historical theme extends well beyond the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The slide is machined from American-made billet stainless steel and engraved with imagery inspired by the Great Seal of the United States. A detailed bald eagle dominates the design, reflecting a symbol that has represented American strength and independence since the 18th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The frame uses 4140 carbon steel and receives Cabot&#8217;s proprietary Fire and Ice finish. The treatment creates rich red-brown tones that contrast with white American holly grips engraved with excerpts from the Declaration of Independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/add-touch-class-niter-blue-di\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cabot-guns-america-250-1911-revolutionary-war-cannonball\" title=\"Cabot Guns Turns Revolutionary War Cannonball Into America 250 1911\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"7040\">Blue PVD small parts and the Nitre Blued<\/a> Damascus trigger complete a patriotic red, white, and blue color scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cabot also incorporated another piece of early American history.
