Cabot Guns Serenity MAX and Gentleman's Carry pistols, new for 2025
The Serenity MAX and Gentleman's Carry pistols expand the already vast and exclusive line of 1911 type pistols by the Cabot Gun company
Cabot Guns Serenity MAX and Gentleman's Carry pistols, new for 2025
Cabot Guns is probably the biggest name on the US market for luxury 1911-style pistols; their creations, almost all of which are available in limited quantities only, are largely hand-made utilizing special and rare materials.
Cabot Guns' 1911-style pistols are fine guns for collectors and connaisseurs who desire only the best and are willing to spend any amount of money to have it, but that doesn't mean they aren't shootable or competition-ready: the 2012, 2013, 2017 and 2018 editions of the NRA National Pistol Championship were indeed won by Brian "Gunny" Zins and Jon Shue using Cabot Guns pistols, and they marked the only instances in over a century of the Championship's history that saw civilian shooters take first place overall
The year 2025 sees Cabot Guns expand their already vast and exclusive catalog with the launch of several new products, including the Serenity MAX and Gentleman's Carry pistols.
Cabot Guns Serenity MAX pistol
Cabot Guns Serenity MAX pistol
The Cabot Guns Serenity MAX pistol is a double-stack version of the previous Serenity model, introduced back in early 2022.
Entirely manufactured out of 416 steel for a perfect bland of sturdy construction and cosmetic finesse, the Cabot Guns Serenity MAX pistol shares the original Serenity's peculiar damascus steel slide design, harshly sculpted and deeply etched by a series of acid baths, but the internals remain silky slick and dimensionally perfect.
The frame is a Cabot Guns original double-stack design, based on the Company's own Insurrection model – the first ever Cabot Guns double-stack pistol. Chambered in 9mm Luger, the Cabot Guns Serenity MAX pistol feeds through 17-rounds or 20-rounds magazines and is compatible with STI/2011 type magazines, but 10-rounds magazines are available for jurisdictions with capacity restrictions in place.
Available with either a Government-length 127 mm / 5" barrel or a Commander-style 107,9 mm / 4.¼" barrel, the Cabot Guns Serenity MAX pistol also features a machined steel grip, ambidextrous frame-mounted manual safety, an integral machined MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny accessories rail on the frame, and a Cabot Guns Advantage internal extractor. The front and rear sight are manufactured out of stainless steel; an optics mount for Trijicon RMR footprint micro red dot sights is also available as an optional.

First introduced in 2023 in a black DLC version with walnut grip panels, the Cabot Guns Gentleman's Carry pistol is now also available in a stainless variant, featuring exquisitely polished flats and black piano ivory grips.
Regardless of the variant, the Cabot Guns Gentleman's Carry pistol is available in 9mm Luger and .45 ACP, and feeds through single-stack magazines holding 9 or 8 rounds respectively.
As its own name suggests, the Cabot Guns Gentleman's Carry pistol was designed as a personal defense and concealed carry tool – albeit a luxury, strictly élite one at that! – and in all of its versions it is entirely manufactured out of 416 steel. Other features include a 107,9 mm / 4.¼" barrel with a flush and recessed crown; "Bobtail" cut concealed carry-oriented grip with a rhombus cut 24 LPI checkering on both the front strap and mainspring housing; right-hand only frame-mounted manual safety and beavertail grip safety; a polished feed ramp; a frontally-thinned slide with Cabot Black Diamond 13-degree serrations, carry cut top serrations, and recessed slide stop notch; polished feed ramp; a skeletonized hammer and Cabot Guns TriStar trigger; and a reverse dovetail Tritium front sight and Warren-style U-Notch rear sight. A threaded barrel is optionally available.
