    I might be able to be talked into a Cabot Arms. You know, to hang on the wall.

    I used to hang arms on the wall but conditions of my release prohibit it these days.

    I've never wanted one, but I'm thinking about getting one just as a range/fun gun.

    Ive wanted a Cabot Southpaw for years. After talking to one of their "Models" and a Sales Guy at an NRA convention, I realized Cabots aren't actually meant to shoot. Esp. the ones with Wooly Mammoth Unicorn Grips.

    1911's are great, if your still in 1911. Never once been in a multiple day training class with a 1911 that didn't malfunction. The owners always swear its the ammo?

    Was this when he was pinned down in Iraq, and forgot to put the truck in drive? I wonder if he ever threw it in the gravel, and jumped up and down on it. I'm guessing they don't run that drill anymore.

    Ha!

    He recently got a Cabot arms and has been using it. He's using it at a Vickers class next month.

    I'm not sure they run that drill any more.....

    They sure don't spin on the gun.

    Never shot a Cabot, but they are beautiful. Have shot a few Wilsons. The ones I shot were awesome, once you found the right ammo. .

    I agree with Yeager (well, what Yeager used to say): I don't have a 1911 or a Harley cause I don't have the time to keep them running :)

    I had a Kimber and a Springfield. Loved 'em, but as a carry gun, I'd unload when I got home (kids), then reload when I'd leave again. The force of the slide racking from the constant loading would compress the rounds to 1/8" shorter. I sold them both.

    Yep. He really brags on it. They look super nice, but a Springfield TRP is on my wish list.

    I always tell people "I don't care if you own a 1911, as long as you carry a G19."
