Overview
Cabot Guns is transforming the science of manufacturing into a form of art with their newest 1911 pistol, the Dragon Claw. Cabot’s designs are built using aerospace machinery do a degree of precision not seen anywhere else in the industry.
The Dragon Claw is a limited-edition wyrm-themed 1911 with claw-shaped components. Each pistol is cut from a solid block of 416 stainless steel with a full-length slide and 5-inch barrel. It will be offered in .45ACP and 9mm Luger. Even small components like the thumb safety, grip safety, magazine release and guide rod are all machined from billet steel.
Cabot is pioneering what they call “clone technology.” Clone technology allows them to build a frame and slide that fit more accurately than can be done by the human hand. They can produce parts that are identical to .001 inches of each other.
“Like dragons of old, the Dragon Claw itself is adorned with the sharpest of claws. In place of traditional forward and rear cocking serrations, instead, are found two sets of three parallel claw marks embracing the slide and carrying seamlessly onto the frame,” Cabot said.
“Cabot’s ground-breaking radiused, precision-fit trigger has been graced with an all-new electric discharge wire cut design of twin-claws, exactly scaled from their larger brethren found on the cocking serrations. The one of a kind Dragon Claw trigger is designed not only to fit perfectly to the natural curves of the human finger, but also to complement the design.”
The Dragon Claw is completed with contrasting piano-black ebony wood grips for a stark two-tone appearance. The pistol comes with a reverse-dovetailed gold dot front sight and user’s choice of low-mount rear sights.
