    Wow, that Alchemy Prime is absolutely gorgeous. I configured the prime elite almost identically with ring hammer, minus the charcoal blue (not a fan of the look, normal blueing looks better imo), and kept the barrel, bushing, and trigger stainless. I love the classic nature of their designs, very minimalist. Appreciate you showing these all up close.

      Did you watch the entire video? We show two separate magwells from ACW, one is clearly blended & the other not so much…. Bottomline, it comes down to very very poor attention to detail. When you are paying this kind of money these quality control misses are completely unacceptable.

They need to watch the video again if they are not the 20 to 30 Crazies that have been Stalking & Harassing us for Cabot & Alchemy Arms.

    I was going to buy a Cabot Insurrection (their new 2011) and an ACW Prime Elite to replace my Colt. I plan going to their booths at NRA 2024 Expo to thoroughly inspect these guns after watching these videos. I know what a badly fitted 1911 looks like (my Colt), and I know what Custom guns look and feel like (I hv a Wilson Combat and 2 Nighthawks). I appreciate the heads up on their QC, nothing would piss me off more than paying $4,000-6,000 for a gun where corners were cut

    Good God man. My $1,000 Colt grip safety is blended better and more sensitized than those ACW's. That is sad because Colt usually has the worst fitting safeties in general. I'll stick to carrying it and save for a Les Baer. Great video guys! Thanks for being the first to speak up, show courage and be honest so we don't have to go through it.

    Being new to 'high end custom' 1911s, is at all possible to buy an inexpensive but solid stock 1911 to 'build on' and upgrade as you go to the equivalent of one of these $6k 1911s? Can you do a video on how to do inexpensive 1911 upgrades to get the most bang for your buck?... so to speak haha

    • @TheLegionOfStories
      @TheLegionOfStories Рік тому +4

      There’s a lot of quality production 1911’s you could start with as base guns.
      The Standard Manufacturing 1911’s, Springfield Operator & Emissary models, ronins, garrison or even the Springfield Mil Spec’s are perfect stock guns to build on.
      If you buy a base production .45ACP 1911, the only things we traditionally change is the magazine release (if not extended) and bushing/plug over to Wilson Combat thick flange bulletproof parts (we’ve done this to many of our Springfields).

Check out Wilson Combat, or Les Baer if you’re on a tighter budget. I purchased one used Les Baer Government size in great condition for $1,550. New they run a bit more then $3,000. B9USA Sr.
