When it comes to elite 1911 performance, few names carry the weight of Cabot Guns—and the National Standard is proof that “entry-level” in their lineup still means world-class. Built entirely in the USA from billet steel, this pistol delivers the kind of precision, fit, and finish that serious shooters and collectors demand.

The National Standard features a fully machined frame and slide, cut from solid blocks of steel—not cast or forged—resulting in unmatched consistency and durability. Every component is engineered to exact tolerances, giving you a remarkably tight fit without sacrificing reliability.

On the range, this pistol shines with a crisp, clean-breaking trigger and exceptional accuracy. The match-grade barrel and precision slide-to-frame fit translate into tight groupings and smooth cycling. Whether you’re running drills or simply appreciating a finely tuned 1911, the performance is undeniable.

Aesthetically, the National Standard keeps things classic and purposeful. Its clean lines, premium finish, and high-quality grips reflect Cabot’s commitment to understated elegance. This is a pistol that doesn’t need flash—it lets craftsmanship speak for itself.

She was built in September of 2023, has had 400-500 rounds fired and has a few scars on the left side of the slide. These were made to be used and just added to her character and mystique.

Key Features:

• Fully machined frame and slide from billet steel

• Match-grade barrel for superior accuracy

• Precision slide-to-frame fit

• Crisp, clean trigger pull

• Premium finish with classic 1911 styling
