OH man, you guys are killing me with these pics...
Just placed an order for Prime Compact... Now I need to start back on page 1 of this thread and look at them ALL again, ha!

Rising sun,
Thanks for sharing! You wait time seems on the early side of projected wait times?
I just placed an order... trying to relax and not obsess over waiting, ha!

 

[wheelyfun44]

Wait times when I ordered were 6 months at the time so it was just about on time. The wait is rough but the best thing I did was to just work on other projects/etc and when I started to not be as excited about it I’d look through this thread and watch some 1911 syndicate YouTube videos on Alchemy haha. It’ll go by faster than you think!

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.

Best grips, EVER!

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

Personally my preferred ACW is the Anomaly - as you can see.

Anomaly:
noun 1.
something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected.
"there are a number of anomalies in the present system"
Man, ACW definitely chose an apt name for that model...

 

[wheelyfun44]

sweet!!
Did those grips come with your Alchemy?

(I have a Prime Compact on order... and often forget about it... until someone posts in this thread!!)

Two new pistols at the Beretta compound?
Quantico and... Prime Compact? For some reason the "compact" looks shorter than a Commander slide in this pic?

 

[wheelyfun44]

Love the black trigger and hammer!!
I've got a loooong wait ahead for my Prime Compact, but this thread keeps me happy for now.
I'll be hoping for a new video or two from you!

 

[wheelyfun44]

Sometimes I forget that I have an ACW on order... then pics get posted and I get all excited again... kinda like this waiting game!

 

[wheelyfun44]

Damn, save some for the rest of us!

Inbound Prime Compact. (Pic from dealer).
Full range report and more pics to follow.

 

[wheelyfun44]

Have we seen many Quantico single stacks or is that a rarer breed?

They'll be one more out there, as soon as i submit my order, ha!
Just took delivery of a Prime Compact yesterday... Quantico up next!

 

[wheelyfun44]

Oh man, I'm waiting any day now to hear my Prime Compact is ready. When did you order yours? Got a pic?

Ordered in Feb, arrived at my dealer two weeks ago.
I'm mounting VZ black diamonds this eve, then will share pics.
Trigger pull is unreal, and reset is spooky short. I'll likely have a couple doubletaps when i first try to work it at "speed".
This will be my primary carry pistol, so it will get a major workout on a regular basis.

Horrible lighting in those pics, but i was all happy after installing new grips... had to share

 

[wheelyfun44]

About to hit the range to break in my Prime Compact.. pics and report to follow!

 

[wheelyfun44]

I put 150 rounds through my Compact today.. look for review in the range report subforum...
Flawless, in a word! (woops, I put my review in the "general" firearms range reports, NOT the 1911 range reviews... not sure how to move it, but look for it there!

 

[wheelyfun44]

I’ve got a date this afternoon.
