[SHOT 2025] Cabot & Alchemy 1911s

Cabot Firearms and their sister company Alchemy Custom Weaponry were at SHOT Show 2025, showing off their pistols. The newest additions include a gold Trump 1911 from Cabot and a full-rail option in the Alchemy line. Let’s take a look at them.

Custom 1911 @ TFB:

• Cabot Announces and Sells Out - The Voltage
• Alchemy Custom Weaponry Fat Man Double Stack .45 ACP 1911
• Cabot Guns "The Phoenix" Pistol

The new Trump 47 1911 from Cabot is one that is hard to miss. The name references President Trump’s second term, where he serves as the 47th President of the United States. Cabot’s tribute pistol has a 24-karat gold finish (a decorative style frequently associated with President Trump’s tastes) and includes a walnut display stand. These pistols retail for $29,947 (that number is right, and is not a typo) and all have been sold. Though the window to buy one may already be closed we did get some pictures in the Cabot booth.

Alchemy Custom Weaponry has a new model as well, the Quantico Full Rail. Unlike other Quantico models, the rail goes all the way to the muzzle. This puts more weight at the muzzle end, which also helps reduce muzzle flip. This model has tactical styling and incorporates a Stan Chen magazine well. Unlike the Trump 47 pistol, the Quantico Full Rail is not a limited production item, and it is available for order with a price point starting at $3,775. There is a seven- to nine-month wait time for these hand-made pistols.

From the manufacturer:

Inspired by the High Speed 1911s of the 90s, the ACW Quantico Full Rail is every single stack operator’s dream come true. We took the classic styling cues like square ejection ports and non scalloped frames from our Prime Series and adapted them for tactical use by adding a full length universal rail, ambi safety, extended ledge slide stop and a flat trigger. The Quantico Full Rail also comes with a Stan Chen Extended Magwell, Tritium Front sight, double diamond G10 grips, and black coated or bare stainless barrel standard.
