That’s going to be a sweet shooter. I love 38 Super.

I'm sure it will, every ACW I've had the chance to shoot was great. This one was built right after yours, I noticed the numbers today.

That’s pretty cool.

Nice piece.

did you order it with two back ends (Magwell and MSH?)

I like all the skin shavings in the grasping grooves!!!! must be hard fit?

Brew only adds to the enjoyment!

That’s an all business 1911 @Whiten.

i had the magwell from a Prime Elite I sold. It’s tight but not bad. I’m loving this one.

I do like my Millers

Cool. I would leave it tight to minimize side to side movement.

While I don't think this will happen to yours, I had a production gun that kept trapping an empty mag on release and I thought it was the mag catch. I kept relieving the mag catch and come to find out it was the looseness of the factory magwell. I am not saying sloppy looseness but just enough for my hard range/shooting grip was just enough to move it sideways and pinch an empty mag. I could never duplicate it dry which was baffling, but it happened during range sessions. Staring at it with a speed range grip is much different than in the garage. I center punched the sides of the MSH to raise some metal to reduce it movement in the frame and some filing/blending of the magwell fixed the issue.

Enjoy!!!!!!!

The slide to frame fit is tight but smooth as butter. The magwell slipped right in, the fit is great.

Sweet. I see your .45 has the speed cut slide for reduced weight and faster cycling 🤑

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!

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
