Introducing the Cabot Rebellion MAX – The latest evolution in concealed carry

Cabot, Pennsylvania- December 2025- Several years ago, when we introduced the original Rebellion, it represented a very specific idea: how light, how fast, and how mechanically elegant a 1911 could be when every assumption was questioned. Its single-stack format, aluminum frame, and radically efficient internal geometry weren’t about novelty. These changes define the Cabot ethos, a remarkable firearm, built for carry, reimagining a storied platform with unrivaled ingenuity.

And yet, in the background, another question lingered.

What would happen if we took that same philosophy of speed, refinement, mechanical ingenuity – and allowed ourselves one indulgence: capacity? Moreover, what if we could build a double-stack pistol with the same weight and dimensions as the Rebellion?

The answer is the Rebellion MAX, a new release with 60 units being built in 2026.

Designed from the ground up to be the ultimate double-stack carry pistol, the Rebellion MAX delivers.

The Rebellion MAX achieves the same ultra-light 28oz unloaded weight as the single-stack Rebellion through the exclusive use of 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum in both the grip and frame modules. Yet despite accepting full-size double-stack magazines, the grip module is slightly narrower than a single-stack Rebellion, making it exceptionally easy to wrap your hand around and control.

Uniquely operating with an innovative and all-new single lug bull barrel, the Rebellion MAX cycles faster and smoother. Despite its reduced weight, our full-cycle commander technology combined with this barrel leads to felt recoil akin to a 5″ government model.
