The Gun Experiment

We experiment with concepts in guns, gear and training; all while having conversations about interesting things, with interesting people. Yes, we will talk about guns, but not just guns because humans weren’t meant to be one dimensional. The gun is merely a tool and we believe the person is the true weapon. We want to explore different ways to make this “weapon” better in mind, body and spirit. Experiment...everyday.

I want to thank Nick for coming on and discussing all of the details that go into the design, creation and marketing of these beautiful 1911’s. Cabot is creating unique and artistic firearms and as a result garnering a lot of attention outside of the firearms community. This type of attention ultimately changes the way people view firearms.
