Damascus 1911

[SERparacord]

Born from a 50 layer block of American artisan made stainless steel by master Damascus craftsman Chad Nichols, the Cabot Damascus 1911 represents a new achievement. Extraordinary to machine and grind this may be the one and only pistol to ever be produced from true traditional folded Damascus steel.

A 5 to 10 unit run, with wooly mammoth grips. $10k?

Probably not far off. Way too much for the average wage earner.

It is a sharp pistol, but I am pretty sure that the Damascus slide has been done once or twice before this one...

Caspian has done them.

Scary cool....scary expensive just plain scary.

Wow! Cool pistol, I have to agree with everyone else, too expensive for the average Joe.

That looks like the trigger from the Obama gun.

Oh, and also... I saw photos not long ago of some grips a guy made. He took corn cobs and treated them...sliced them, and lacquered them...and they looked extremely similar to the ones on that gun. Not my liking, but definitely unique.

Grips are like a custom paint job on a car or bike. Totally personal taste.
That gun is cool enough and I respect the unique nature of the material and the craftsmanship involved but it is kind of busy in a way. That is of course JMHO.......

For 10K I could pick up a couple of seriously nice pieces folks have posted in this forum.

Yep, same company I believe.

Just a great looking gun IMHO. This is one of many I can not afford to buy, but love to look at.

Caspian has done them.

And they still do. You can order a Damascus slide or frame from Caspian. When I ordered the slide for my Colt build, I looked at Damascus, until I saw the price!

I like that gun. I'd have the trigger changed out by them before delivery but other than that, I don't think I'd change much. Now, the chances of my ever being able to afford that gun are exactly the same as the chance of my winning the Powerball tonight (which are not reduced much due to my not buying a ticket). But, it's fun to look at. I'll also add that if you ever see me carrying that gun, you can probably hit me up for a bit of cash as I will have recently won a big chunk of change. Just saying.

You mean way too much for anyone with a brain??

By and large, the people who can afford a gun like this have that kind of money precisely because they did NOT spend it on something that would buy 10 Dan Wessons.

I think it's kind of funny. Usually it's night hawk and Wilson combat customer looking down their nose at lowely kimber customers. Buy this gun and you can now look down your nose at them. Just remember you will have to start working on excuses for spending the price of a decent used car for the price of a gun.

Who wants to be known for buying 10 Dan Wessons!!!!!!

$10K isn't getting it done. Bottom of the page:A limited production of 5 to 10 custom units is under consideration starting at $35,000.

I'll stick with this one then.
