Why 1911 Guys Refuse To Let This Gun Die
About this video
Colion Noir sits down with representatives from Cabot Guns and Alchemy Custom Weaponry at Rock Island Auction to discuss high-end 1911 firearms. The guests share Colion’s appreciation for craftsmanship and history, walking him through their limited-edition builds, Damascus steel creations, and design philosophy. Colion examines several unreleased models (including the Midnight Rebellion Max and Golden Eye Apocalypse) and explores what the guests describe as the soul and artistry behind premium 1911s—treating them as heirlooms rather than disposable tools.
Key takeaways
- Colion explores the Cabot/Alchemy philosophy that 1911s are more than tools—they’re historical artifacts and mechanical art, comparable to luxury watches or classic cars
- The guests walk Colion through their limited-edition processes, including what they describe as turning Revolutionary War cannonballs and Normandy Beach artifacts into Damascus steel components
- Colion expresses strong enthusiasm for the Golden Eye Apocalypse (a black-and-gold titanium-nitride-coated double-stack), calling it one of the most attractive firearms he’s encountered
