Search Results for ‘acw 1911’

In the fun world of YouTube reviews, I’ve watched a few from these guys over the last few months. They have done several reviews on ACW and Cabot including this one: I happened to notice yesterday that all the Cabot and ACW videos now say “Not Recommended” in the titles. That seems to be a...

Just picked up used Alchemy Prime 45 ACP from the used case at the local shop. They never have guns like this. Gold bead, everything else is standard. $2399 seemed like a no brainer. How’d I do?

I'm blessed, I really never run into a gun not running, until today. I loaded up 10 Tripp mags with 38 super and swung by the range after a lunch meeting to punch some paper with the new (to me) ACW. Failure to feed after failure to with never more than a few rounds cycling at a time. The...

Saw it in the classifieds and felt I needed an ACW for the collection to be complete - plus it was in 38 super so win/win, Boy, they have the blue'ing thing down damn right and the logo'd script is the best in the business. I'm going to shot the snot out of this over the next few months...

Hello there, I’m getting ready to search for a used ACW commander and I intend to compete with it, so I’ll need a magwell. I don’t expect to find one in my price range which has a magwell from the factory, so I’m wondering what my best aftermarket options are. As I understand it, the Chen SI...

I received my new blued ACW Prime Classic Carry A couple of months ago. I ordered it with the stock ugly checkered wood grips. I would like to change them to a double diamond good looking grip. What companies would you guys recommend? I would like the grips to be a classic looking wood but...

I just picked up my first ACW from our dear @Xringchaser and I'm in love in 10 minutes! This is a .45 Prime with a hard chrome Prodigy frame and the 1" guarantee that is no longer available. It was then sent to @Integrity Arms to have the slide flat topped, ball cuts, a French Border, bottom of...

Anyone have some pics of their ACWs in hard chrome? Also, did you use the gold bead front sight or something else? Thought about checking on a platinum bead but it might blend in too much.

Holy smokes! I always loved the esthetics of the Alchemy Custom weaponry pistols... especially in love with the CCO they make. Love that it's all steel (vs aluminum frame) Love the fixed, blacked out rear sight, the super undercut frame, the blueing... The options such as ball cut vs none, and...

Got my ACW Quantico back in May. My first (but not last) ACW 1911. I’ve only been carrying it for about a month because it took longer than expected for my Milt Sparks holster to show up. Ended up buying a JM Custom Kydex holster to use while I waited. It’s a beautiful gun, but that doesn’t...

Retirement is a couple years away for me, but I'm already counting down. I've decided to buy a nicer 1911 as a retirement/survival gift to myself and have pretty much decided on a Prime Elite in .45 acp. That said, I've waffled endlessly over brands and models, but I keep coming back to the ACW...

It’s been a good day! Picked up my 2 ACW as soon as UPS delivered them to my LGS. One is a PE hard chrome in 38 Super and the other one is a Prodigy in 9mm. Can’t wait to shoot them!

First post toward the purchase of my first 1911: My search for my first 1911 brought me to this forum. I have tried to do all my homework, reading lots of previous posts to avoid boring everyone with the same old requests, but here is the story in a nutshell. I am seeking a more traditional...

Hope nobody falls for this crap, guy hasn’t had a transaction since 2011 https://www.gunbroker.com/item/908562881

Vote, 1, 2, 3 or 4

I was delighted when this arrived at my LGS a day early. Just racking the slide requires more effort than you would think, the lock up is impressive. Thumb safety feels great, trigger feels great, I like this orange front sight better than the Ed Brown HD XR's as it's smaller. The front strap...

Kinda new to 1911s and enjoying my new hobby. Bought some production guns and then moved to semi custom. Picked up a Guncrafter NN and a Nighthawk Heinie PDP. Next on the list was an ACW Prime Elite. Great reviews, guys love em, IMO they're beautiful examples of classic 1911s. Obviously my...

Looking for how everyone safely stores their 1911s that only make a few trips a year to the range?

Hi everyone, first post here! I'm considering placing an order for an ACW prime elite, just debating the finishing choices. This will be an occasional range toy, so I'm happy to splurge on one of the nicer finishings like the charcoal blue. Alternatively, I'm assuming the hard chrome will be the...

Ordered in January with a delivery date of 8/31. Did not expect to see this one so soon. Customer service, even before receiving the gun, has been phenomenal. They swapped out the grips for me since I’m a lefty and didn’t want the thumb scoop (still might pick up a double diamond set from vz...
