The Cabot Guns Southpaw is a truly unique entry in the 1911 market, purpose-built from the ground up for left-handed shooters. Unlike many manufacturers who merely adapt ambidextrous safeties or controls, Cabot’s Southpaw features a fully mirrored design — with ejection port, controls, and internal geometry reversed. The serial number “LEFTY042” indicates this is the 42nd example produced in this left-handed series, underscoring its limited production and appeal to discerning collectors and shooters alike. Cabot Guns is renowned for its uncompromising quality, precision machining, and aerospace-grade tolerances. Each 1911 they produce is a functional work of art, often crafted from billet stainless steel and finished with meticulous attention to detail. Their commitment to perfection extends to hand-fitting, match-grade components, and aesthetic refinement — all of which are evident in the Southpaw model. For left-handed shooters seeking true mechanical symmetry in a high-end 1911, the Cabot Southpaw is a rare and elite option.
According to the owner, this example is in NEW OLD STOCK condition, and we see no evidence to indicate otherwise!

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Cabot’s National Standard Southpaw (and its predecessor, the S103 Southpaw) is the only true left-hand 1911 ever engineered from the ground up. Unlike ambidextrous or reversible controls on standard 1911s, this pistol was fully mirrored—with the ejection port on the left, thumb safety, slide stop, and magazine release repositioned for left-hand use. Cabot even reversed the barrel rifling twist to optimize extraction and ejection dynamics for southpaw operation. It’s machined entirely from billet 416 stainless steel using aerospace tolerances, with hand-fit match-grade barrels, high-precision slide/frame mating, and Cabot’s signature reverse dovetail front sight system for strength and zero retention. Aesthetic craftsmanship and mechanical precision distinguish the Southpaw in both appearance and function. American Rifleman testers achieved sub-1.7? five-shot groups at 25 yards with factory-match .45?ACP loads, and the pistol performed flawlessly through over 400 rounds, even across varied bullet brands. Reviews unanimously laud it as “flawless,” with surface finishes that blend bead-blast with satin-polished flats, sharp but tight edges, and micro-serrations in trigger and slide work. Feedback from shooters and experts repeatedly underscores the pistol’s benchmark-setting fit, smoothness, and out-of-the-box surgical accuracy
