Congratulations! It’s an amazing gun!

I’m curious to see the difference between the Quantico and my prime elite, did you ever consider getting the optic plate for your Quantico?

I don’t know if you’re asking me but no, I don’t use pistol optics. I have astigmatism in both eyes and it’s so bad I see a smear across a majority of the optic window. Funny you mentioned your Prime Elite. I have a Prime Elite coming around March of next year.

Classy Prime Elite!

Hard Chrome Prime Elite just arrived. I'll grab some more photos in a bit. The slide to frame fit is awesome, feels extra tight. View attachment 884743

Looks great! And a non-serialized one, at that!! Super rare! 😂🤣
Looking forward to more pics. I’m about 2 months out on mine if it stays on schedule. I was told the hard chrome process is running a little slow.

Based on a blued gun recently received by another member, and some spitball math, I think they are probably in the 800 range. All conjecture but it is fun to surmise where my serial number will fall

Haha! I do the same! It’s a fun little game to play. My Quantico that was ordered in January and delivered in May is 570. Was hoping to land in the 700s for my Prime Elite, but that’s not looking like a thing now. Not that it really matters. I just care that the gun works reliably and so far that has been my experience with ACW.

MGBD said:

Yeah, I'm not big on the visible serial number so I scrub it from the photos I post otherwise google makes it a searchable image afterwards. Google ACW815 and you'll see what I mean. Now you know where I bought it and how much I paid - ultimately I don't really care, but to me it kinda seems unnecessary for you to have this info so easily..

Just having a little fun with it. I get what you’re saying. I just think that people waste a lot of time and energy (not you) stressing over their serial numbers.

But the most important thing is that you’ve got an incredibly beautiful gun there and I’m looking forward to more pics and an eventual range report.

Oh how careless of me. I can’t forget to gloat here! ACW Quantico single stack! View attachment 884830 View attachment 884831 View attachment 884832 View attachment 884833

Extremely careless! Good thing you redeemed yourself!

Not making the wait easy for me! Lol!
The more I see of the hard chrome the happier I am I went for it on mine, as well.

I particularly like the 3rd pic down. Really shows the polish on the sides!

Finally received my ACW Prodigy ordered in January yesterday. 9mm in hard chrome and everything I expected it to be. Thanks to Alchemy, George at Gunslingers and Hillbilly Grips. Added a pic of it's older brother a Prime Elite also in 9mm. Sorry my cellphone pictures don't show like some of yours.

They don’t all have to be professional quality photos. Nothing wrong with yours at all, though! Couple of beauties you’ve got there!

My second ordered, but first received ACW.
A Prime Elite Compact 9mm. View attachment 889681 View attachment 889682

Pretty slick! I contemplated one of these next but think I’m going to order either a Prime Carry or Classic Carry next. Specced out how I want it, it’ll be a little over $4k so I’ve got some time to ponder it. 🤣😂

What is the other model you’ve got coming?

10ther said:

Thanks, I love this Compact. It is a perfect edc 1911 for me.
I first ordered a Prime Elite Government .45 in March and then this 9mm Compact in April. I’ve since ordered a Quantico .45 in July. Now waiting for my Tucker gun leather to catch up. 🗓😂

Awesome! I have a Quantico 45 and have a hard chrome Prime Elite 45 due in a couple months. Some time after is when I’ll figure out which one is next. So many nice guns, but only so much disposable income!

Rob’s going to have 30-40 Colts coming his way after that comment! Haha!

Old Sea Dragon said:

It’s finally happening! They just requested my FFL info😎

Click to expand...

Awesome! I was quoted end of February. I hope it stays close to that but I’ll get it when I get it. I just try not to think about it too much. 😂

10ther said:

Took delivery of my latest ACW today!
A Government .45 to compliment my CCO 9mm. Sublime.

Click to expand...

heck yeah! What number did you get, if you don’t mind sharing? If you don’t want to post it, are they still in triple digits?

10ther said:

My CCO is mid 8’s and my GOV is mid 9’s, but I ordered my GOV first (3/21).
I believe the frames are numbered in batches. Curious to see what my Quantico will be in a couple of weeks.

Click to expand...

Interesting how the numbering works. You might be right about the batching. It doesn’t matter what the number is as long as the gun works but it’s fun to see what I’ll get. 😂

Rising Sun said:

Does anyone know if the order number is the same as the serial number you’ll receive?

Click to expand...

Definitely is not.

Everybody wants #1000. 😂

oh, and @Old Sea Dragon , #989 looks great! Glad you finally got it!

I don't care WHAT my serial number is.... but I won't find out for 9 to 11 months...

Click to expand...

You’re in the crappy part of the waiting phase, man. I feel for you. I ordered my first one last January and it was supposed to come in late August but I got it in May instead! Some flip flopping happened due to shortages on other guns or something so I got bumped up.
second one ordered late May and expected delivery was late February but I don’t know how the hard chrome thing is going turn time wise so it’ll be here when it gets here.
