Behind the Build: Cabot Serenity 1911

Take a look at the inspiration behind the Serenity, a Damascus Steel 1911 by Cabot Guns.

Serenity: The state or quality of being serene, calm or tranquil. Serenity. The antonym of Apocalypse—the light Yin to the dark Yang. The Cabot Guns Serenity is all about smooth lines, deft touches, soft contrasts and unique textures. The Damascus is harshly sculpted by a series of acid baths but the internals remain silky slick and dimensionally perfect. The deeply-etched slide is balanced by the vapor-smooth grip panels milled of solid steel, and the entire pistol is wrapped in a blanket of silver thanks to the 416 stainless steel used for every component.

Despite its beauty, the Serenity is built to have no peers in terms of performance. The high cut frame ensures that the Serenity sits low in the hand and the billet steel grips add weight, taming recoil through pure physics. Due to these features, the Serenity is one of the softest shooting guns that Cabot has ever built. Rhombus checkering is machined tastefully into the frontstrap and mainspring housing for tactile control. That housing and the extended magazine well are machined from a single piece of steel. No corners cut, no shortcuts taken.

Available in .45 ACP or 9x19mm, and in Full-size or Commander-length configurations. Of course, Cabot Gun’s Commander-length pistols are built on a full-size frame, providing the legendary reliability that John Browning intended.
