Shhhh.

Don’t tell Cabot Guns out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who making their coin hoodwinking ostentatious, moneybag armchair cowboys and celebrities — like Kid Rock and the frontman from Twisted Sister — that every element, every “thing” on Earth was formed at the heart of a star … in space.

Don’t tell them. Because they’re in the process of making a firearm out of a meteorite, then hawk it for a cool million bucks all because the material is “as old as the earth itself” (think about that for a minute) and in the form of fully-functional semiautomatic .45-caliber pistols “of the 1911 style” that you can shoot clay pigeons and your enemies with.

**The 1911s were used by the United States military in World War I, World War II as well as the wars in Korea and Vietnam.**

They’re planning on dubbing it the “Big Bang pistol set”, with each shooter crafted like a large, rare diamond from a 35mm chunk of the Gibeon meteorite that crash landed in Africa in the 1830s.

This from CNN Money:

“It hasn’t been done before and that’s the kind of thing that drives me,” said Cabot founder and president Rob BiaNchin in an email to CNNMoney. “I think it’s fair to state many of the pistols we have constructed border on art.”

“Meteor is rare, more so than terrestrial precious metals and I wanted to create a set of guns that were formed from a material that had intrinsic value,” BiaNchin said.

Cabot has fashioned a pair of pistol grips from the meteorite, and BiaNchin is now confident they can move on to building an entire gun.

“We were not sure it was possible, but we have passed the critical stage of construction and we are confident these will be a fully functional set of left and right-handed mirror image pistols,” he said. “Building each component has been a science experiment.”

Curiously enough, you can buy your very own small piece of the famous meteorite — known for its mesmerizing lines of crystallized metal — online for a paltry $50.
