Cabot Guns Insurrection

The Insurrection marked Cabot Guns' first entry into the double-stack 1911 market, sometimes called the 2011 platform, after years of building exclusively single-stack guns. Cabot designed it from the ground up rather than adapting an existing single-stack frame, using 100 percent US-sourced stainless steel throughout. It's chambered in 9mm and built to accept STI and other 2011-pattern magazines already on the market, though Cabot's own magazine is an improved version of that standard design. The barrel is a 5 inch match-grade, hand-fit stainless piece with fluted hood cuts, available flush-cut and crowned, threaded, or ported depending on the buyer's preference; Cabot says the ported option cuts perceived recoil by as much as 22 percent. Every Insurrection gets a plasma DLC coating over the entire gun, chosen because the coating is thin enough not to interfere with the tight tolerances Cabot holds on its parts while still adding real durability, and a raw stainless finish is available for buyers who want to see the machining underneath. The frame carries a Picatinny accessory rail, a high-profile grip safety, an ambidextrous manual safety, and a checkered magazine release. Cabot's proprietary Advantage extractor addresses a common failure point in double-stack 1911 conversions. Trigger pull sits around 3.5 pounds on a single-action, Delta-style hammer. Two 17-round magazines ship standard, with 20-round magazines available separately. For a company known almost entirely for elaborate single-stack 1911s, the Insurrection represents a genuine engineering departure, and it's been covered widely in the gun press as a serious entry into a crowded double-stack field.
