Lets face it, Cabot Guns are functional art for the 1%-er crowd. But we love to look at them, even though it’s highly unlikely that they will ever end up in our gun safes. We’ve posted info about them before, but for today we’ll let the images speak for themselves. Enjoy . . .
yeah these are nice but some seriously make me LOL
Every Mexican drug kingpin’s dream…. Dual wielding scorpion adorned 1911s.
Having one of their 1911s is on my bucket list. The one I drool over is a simple presentation blued with walnut grips. No fancy scroll work.

The guns do fire so they are functional.
“First round failure to feed. … So I tried several magazines, including Cabot’s. It wasn’t a magazine issue … This was a consistent, ongoing issue. ”

-Gun gets sent back to factory for re-work. They swear they’ve fixed the issue and test fired it to confirm reliability. Gun is returned for a re-test-
“Six rounds. The gun made it six rounds until the first failure to feed. After that, it was a rare thing to go more than two magazine without a failure to feed. … No factory round made it through two magazines without a first-round failure to feed or without fully returning to battery. … I called Farago back and asked if I could have yet another try at the gun. … Round three had similar results.”

-Gun is returned to the factory a SECOND time. They SWEAR they’ve fixed it… like really REALLY fixed it this time. Fly TTAG out to their factory for a test fire. Guarantee it’ll work flawlessly-
“I had one weird failure – a round stove-piped high into the action.”

Sorry, for me to consider a firearm “functional”, it must have at least a pretense of a modicum of reliability. No mechanical device is 100% reliable, but this is just ridiculous. Even if it were a $200 saturday night special. I consider Cabot guns art. To some people, they look beautiful hanging on a wall. presumably they feel nice in your hand. But if you load one up with ammo and it actually fires and cycles, apparently thats just a happy coincidence.
Where’s the Gold .50 AE’s ??? Bit@h! my $hits custom!
Haha. Yea. Cabot Guns…
Forged in the bowels of unicorns.
Tempered in the ground dust of mammoth ivory.
Inlaid with meteorites that roamed the universe.
Lubricated with fairy dust.
Loaded magazines with solid gold bullets.
Shipped with a small pipe of cash to wipe your tears on.
😀
AND they don’t work.
No, we don’t love to look at them. They are ham-fisted attempts at art, even by Huggybear standards.
OK, OK, there are a few nice-looking ones there. The exceptions.
I’d trade my old lady for one.
Errrrr…they don’t come with vocal chords, right? No? Yeah I’ll make that trade.
When they speak it’s in short, angry barks… 🙂
Not repeatedly
“Not repeatedly”
*sigh*
Very well…
*If* they speak it’s in short, angry barks… 🙂
They occasionally speak in short, angry barks… 🙂
etc…
I hear tell some of them sing when you work the slide, no?
What’s the caliber on the smaller one in pictures 3 & 7? .25ACP?
Holy Crap!
They actually can make a gun without those retarded 3 stars cutout in the trigger!
+1
That one must have slipped by their QC inspectors, Huggy Bear and Upgrayedd.
Joe Mantegna disapproves of the fugly 3 star trigger. Fat Tony, on the other hand, thinks it’s quite nice.
Castor Troy would approve (not a good thing…)
My guns are bought for a purpose, and for all of them it’s not to show them off in a pretty little case.
I was hoping to see a pic of at least part of the meteorite pistols that are being made right now.
In other news I’m equally uninterested in the new models Bentley plans to release in 2017.
I’d be more interested in the Bentleys, because at least they function.
“Functional” Art, my ass.
How much do these people pay TTAG to reduce its credibility by bragging on stuff, which we all know is blingy junk?
I think it was a “blank” pistol that is being engraved.
Hey, yeah, whatever happened to that thing? I know high-end engraving takes time, but weren’t we going to get regular updates on the progress or something?
Maybe the engraver realized he was being asked to engrave a turd, and refused to continue. Didn’t want to soil his own reputation, and all that.
I really like the Damascus steel version. I have a couple of knives made in Damascus steel.
