I suppose I can come clean with some details for the forum guys. This all started when our friend here on the forum, "Birdy", was taking delivery of his Cabot. The guys at Cabot were interested in what Birdy's gunsmith thought of their work. They sent me the pistol and I did a full evaluation. I made some suggestions and they took the majority of them and made improvements accordingly. A couple of years later, they made me an offer of employment. I wasn't really expecting this and wasn't really all that interested at the time. Rob Bianchin and Mike Hebor at Cabot were very persistent, and finally made me an offer that was acceptable to both parties. They purchased ACW along with putting me to work as GM at Cabot.



Rest assured, Mike and Rob B at Cabot are very serious about being successful in the 1911 world. I have to admire their moxy. They jumped into a race car with no steering wheel and no brakes. I am now the steering wheel...I hope we never need the brakes. Through all of that they really did manage to make some extremely beautiful guns. If you can look at a Mr. Jones in their high polished blued finish rocking Challis grips and tell me that it's ugly, you're not only lying to me, but you're lying to yourself as well.



Alchemy is going to become the custom option segment of Cabot. Literally anything your can dream up will be in play. Triggers, textures, finishes, markings, engraving...the list goes on.

We can make that happen in a normal, typical semi custom delivery timeframe.I suppose I can come clean with some details for the forum guys.
