Thanks for the offer. I have too many fires burning at the moment. Hopefully ordering its twin (except in 45) before the end of the year.

I know this is unorthodox, I’ve been a lurker and try to not post unless I have something to add, and as a result I can’t PM you or comment on your FS ad but I’d be very willing to purchase that Pro you have. We can communicate via email or phone or whatever you prefer.

I’m too impatient to have a REAL contribution but for now, just the order form for my (early) 30th birthday present to me. I wanted a PRO but I liked some things that ACW does more soooo…I decided to order an ACW Pro Elite if you will. Can’t wait to get it in and this thread is making that wait worse

My estimated ship date is coming up, obviously I’m getting a bit antsy, but I happen to scroll across an Instagram post…of Rob holding an interesting prime elite. It’s finished in bead blast blue, black barrel, with ball cuts, ambi safety and the big ones…Novak rear sight and the older magwell…both of which I was told they only had one of when I ordered. All of this to say, I think it’s safe to assume the man himself posted my prime elite today and I’m absolutely over the moon. Pretty nice to get surprised with a preview of what you ordered prior to it shipping

Ends in "45"

Oh wow lmao I didn’t think of that…well, it was upset I didn’t order it in 9mm but that eases the regret a bit

The most agonizing pic I can think of…mine shipped Friday and arrived today…but I’m working out of town so I have to wait one more week. If my FFL was open until 8 I would probably make the 8hr round trip 😂

My FFL has my prime elite in 45 that just landed, tomorrow evening can't come soon enough.

This last little wait is the hardest part

Well, since the weather got squirrelly here in TX, our project shut down a couple days which meant I had time to pick up my prime elite. Gonna get a few more pics before the finish wears a bit bc kydex…

Couple more crappy pics, I’ll definitely be putting vz grips on it. Quick 50 rds and the finer checkering and beautiful wood grips are not ideal for my perpetually sweaty hands

Since it causes some a great bit of consternation…my prized possessions in kydex. And vz grips, even though I love the look of the original wood grips of both, the black gunner grips are the way for me

Well…ACW 2 was picked up today. Definitely needs to get ball cuts, but that can wait. Just had to have a 9mm so here we are. Will probably get ODG VZ grips

This is SO upsetting...there I was content with my 2 and now I think I need a Hicap. Whos plate is that and who did the grip? Boresight? That is pretty much the exact same thing I'd do

Here is a thread on the details:

Alchemy Custom Quantico wide body with mods of choice...

I have made it no secret I am a fan of the wide body 1911 design. Until a couple days ago I hadn’t owned a Quantico wide body. I have the Quantico 1911 in .45 and I do like it, so I decided to pick up the wide body. I knew straight away I’d want some modifications done, so before I even shot it...

www.1911addicts.com

Thanks, sorry I asked then looked lol, found that just after asking. Looks great, and that is exactly what I want to do if I get one. Only question I have is did you go through Chambers or Brandon directly?

Quantico needs to return to the mothership for some modifications, mainly ball cuts and cut the dust cover straight. Maybe a fiber optic front sight and ambi safety…possibly a flat trigger, who knows. I enjoy looking at them almost as much as I enjoy shooting them

Hold it, I didn't think they would or could cut the rail frame to line up with the ball cuts?

Not on the hicaps, they won’t do any cutting on them; single stack quantico it’s I believe $150 if you contact them when ordering to cut the frame. Imo they should pair it with the ball cut section on the website. People may not love to see a $275 up charge but it is what it is.

Wonder why the difference.

I haven’t gotten a good explanation, just that they can’t. Rob has even mentioned how he wishes they could do that to the hicaps. It has something to do with the shape of the frame I believe, @RCSchauland may be able to help us understand.

I know the inability to do that frame cut has/had severely dampened my desire to order a hicap…until dnuggett posted his. Now I’m thinking maybe I could live with it. Maybe. But first I gotta get my single stack fixed up

Ok, last pics for now, I snagged a pair of horn back lizards and thought “we should have more cowboy boot stuff on the forum” so…here…some vintage Justin turtles. I think the go pretty well with the classic styling of the PE

Now that is badass! Very nice Sir. You should start a Cowboy boots/country/truck/whatever else thread. I’ll post.

There’s a cowboy boot thread that I dropped the boots in, if I had better pics, I’d definitely start a thread. It’s just gonna upset me though because I didn’t get a king ranch this go round and then I’m telling myself this truck won’t go anywhere…lol
