My first, probably not my last.

What kind of wood are those grips? Them are pretty. Nice looking pistol all around.

Big thanks to Rob @AlchemyCustomWeaponry for going above and beyond for me recently. After asking if they could install a short trigger on my new PE for me, he promised the work himself and some of his special fairy dust as a bonus. Low and behold, 2 weeks later, basically the shipping time there and back, and I've got my gun back better then before and way faster than expected. Karma was smiling on me this week too because just the right pair of grips came up from @Highfiguregrips and they also arrived sooner then expected. Talk about a great Saturday afternoon today, so here she is for the second time in this thread. So sweet, I even got a new hat!

Beautiful gun.....and the grips make it even better, congrats. I love it so much that I am now looking at a pair of the High Figure grips for my new Prime Elite Commander. Quick question? How is the grip with the ACW already aggresive stippling and the stippling on the HFG grips? Is it super aggressive? Thanks!

Edit: Here is a quick pick of my new ACW PE Commander that [email protected] sent me. I have not had time to snap my own pics yet as I picked it up a few days ago. Soon though.

Thanks, you've got a pretty spiffy looking piece there yourself. I got mine from GS too, George is a geat guy to buy from.

My ACW with Jon’s grips are aggressive but not over the top. Love mine with his grips.

^^^ This ^^^ I haven't shot it with the new grips yet but while dry firing they feel tacky, not biting. Not that you can tell a whole lot from that, but I have smaller hands so I rotate a little to reach the mag release and these don't prevent that at all, but with a firm grip the gun seems to stick nicely. I'll be taking it out this weekend, and I'll probably shoot with both the High Figure and smooths it came with in succession to feel the real difference, but I've heard the Alchemy's perform well both ways so I'm sure other wood, finishes, and/or exotics will find they're way onto that gun!

Is that really SN #1, or is it photoshopped?

 

[MrMcSimon]

My last number is 1

I took off the previous numbers.

That's what it looked like, but I had to ask. Nice gun.

 

[MrMcSimon]

Yeah Woodcaliber rocks, and so does that Prime Elite!

What grips are those?

[MrMcSimon]

Will be posting pics of my compact on Monday when I pick it up. The wait is long but damn it went by quicker than I thought.

Can't wait!

 

[MrMcSimon]

This thread compels me to take more pictures, so here's my budding ACW collection of two. One each 45ACP & 9mm, with a 45 Commander and a 9mm CCO on the way. I've been trying to lay off the Prime Case Hardened, but I may not last the month.

 

[MrMcSimon]

Yes, i def have plenty of pistols to shoot/carry till my compact arrives! I have two new DW CCO to break in and work with... I'm a fiend for CCO for carry guns.
My DWs are aluminum frame, though... looking forward to an all steel CCO.

CCO's are where it's at. All the cool kids know that.

 

[MrMcSimon]

Yes sir, They are the American Holly grips.

And they look so nice.

Alchemy Prime Charcoal Blue

The phone camera doesn't do it justice. I just picked this up today from the FFL and I'll have to work on getting better pics to share.

This addiction is real...real expensive

I didn't think they were doing the Charcoal Blue anymore, has that changed?

 

[MrMcSimon]

I think I post mine too much, but is it really ever too much? Took this one this morning. Trying to document as much of the wear as possible as it goes progresses. Really liking it and glad I went with the blued finish. View attachment 953078

Looks awesome. What holster are you using?

 

[MrMcSimon]

ACW1008

 

[MrMcSimon]

Just finished my phone consult for my Prime Elite.

Now the wait.

Goes faster then you think. My order from October was due early June but I just got a notice it's ready as of last Friday.

 

[MrMcSimon]

I think I found the perfect set of grips for ACW470 thanks to @1911_Bandit, @AF_ONE , and 1911Addicts.com.

Not that I'm going to stop buying grips probably, or ACW's for that matter.

 

[MrMcSimon]

Nice blaster, and nice bench too. Do you have a shot of the whole thing?

 

[MrMcSimon]

Nice prize.
