Overview
The Cabot The Vintage Classic is a high-end American single-action semi-automatic pistol built on the classic 1911 Government pattern. Machined from 416 stainless steel billet, it is finished with a proprietary aged patina that gives the pistol the worn, well-carried look of a vintage sidearm while retaining match-grade fit. Standard features include a hand-fitted match barrel, spherical gold bead front sight in Cabot's Reverse Dovetail, 24 line-per-inch Rhombus front-strap checkering, a beavertail grip safety, the aluminum Tristar flat trigger, and figured Turkish Walnut grips. It is offered in .45 ACP (and 9mm) in both Government and Commander sizes.
