Hope y'all know how cool it is to see a couple of gun guys just having fun. Seriously. No political, tactical, BS, just straight up enjoying life. That's Gangster.
Honestly, this is what we're about. We love the 1911 and we love sharing our love for the 1911 with folks.
I was in the grasp of big polymer. Eli makes me want a 1911!
He has swayed me to a .45 and to ACW.
I am saving up for one now.
Eli is a treasure, he must be protected at all costs ❤
I’m in my 20’s and Eli is funny and most importantly the best person/personality to sell 1911’s. He could make a talk show and entertain folk all around the 1911.
Any 1911 company that makes boomers mad makes me smile.
We're in a weird position. We love the classic elements of the 1911, but also want to push it's development forward against the striker-crowd. The Tacticool Bois hate me and the Boomers hate me. What a time to be alive.
Love your pistols, love your sense of humor, love Rob, NIck and Eli... y'all are Gangster AF!! The 1911 industry NEEDS the awesome sauce that ACW brings!!
You guys are awesome. If I see a new Alchemy video in my feed it is always the first thing I look at. Thanks for some of the best pistols in the world.
I enjoy Eli’s personality. It’s great a younger guy is passionate about 1911s and it doesn’t get more gangster than that.
Omg too funny. Glad your fire is still burnin, Eli. Keep the videos coming. Love em!
I’m 28 love 1911s and all your guys’ content. Don’t listen to those few people commenting dumb things and can’t handle a jokes. You guys rock!
I’m 28 and own (and love) 3 1911s, and sometimes I feel like I’m a man without a country. I’m not a fudd but love the John Moses browning guns.
Concur, if someone says they're shopping elsewhere because of Eli's demeanor, jokes, jargon, etc., they (more than likely) won't buy ANY higher end 1911. They're probably a Tisas/Gisan/RIA/etc. tier buyer only. (Not dissing those makers, but they ARE a bit lower in price than ACM... Just sayin...) While Eli's "stage presence" isn't necessarily my pint of stout, I think he's doing well riding for the the brand. Keep it up.
All that said, ACM is on my bucket list. I'm 55, retired Army and starting to transition back to 1911s. As a lil' feller, I learned on Ruger Single Actions (.22LR and .357) and a Remington pump .22. I bought my first pistol, a 1911 (made in 1917) at 21 years of age from a former Vietnam SF friend. Also got heavily into leveractions. I got up to 9 or 10 1911s at one point ranging from a 1st gen Kimber to a NHC GRP but sold almost all of them off (not my first 1911, 1sg gen Kimber, SAAs or Levers though) and got into Glocks and ARs. Now I've sold most of my Glocks and getting back into 1911s. My list of desired 1911s is short but ACM is on it.
Keep yer powder dry.

I have been a 1911 fan and carried one almost daily for the last 34 years. Personally, I find it refreshing to see a 25-year-old in the business that is so passionate about the platform! Great seeing you two have fun with it. Absolutely true that you have to get new shooters and younger shooters interested in the 1911....It's too amazing of a gun to let it die. You two together remind me of the guns you build....traditional foundation and tradition mixed with modern and efficient enhancements that only improve performance. Keep doing what you're doing!
Watching Eli over the past few months have brought on a resurgence for the desire to own 1911/2011's. I just recently picked up two more to add to my collection. Unfortunately, they are not ACW or Cabot. Maybe one day finances will allow it. Love the content. Keep it going. Best to y'all from NC.
Haters can be a good thing! I bet you're having no issues selling pistols. Keep it up!
As soon as I saw the title, I knew this was going to be a good one. Let me start off with this: I know this isn’t going to happen, BUT, don’t change anything that you all are doing. I love the videos. The banter is fun. The guns are phenomenal. Everything is 10/10 in my book. Second. In the words of one of my best friends: “If you have haters, you must be doing something right!” All these people complaining, must not know the expression of the word “fun”, and take life entirely too serious to get any joy out of it. Hell, the way you are Eli, and the way you two make videos, make me want an ACW even more to support you guys and the business. We need to keep 1911’s around forever.
Thank you so much for this comment! My goal in life is to make the 1911 the norm again. I am tired of kids my age with their stupid tricked-up striker guns. "Here, put this .45 in your hand and grow some chest hair! "
I own multiple high end 1911’s. Eli is very entertaining and makes me want to purchase a 1911 from Alchemy. I don’t know why so many people have to be negative and have to worry about peoples opinions so much. Eli, keep being yourself, I enjoy the humor and fun you bring to the videos.
I'm ordering one because he's so funny and I honestly trust the company. I respect him and he has my business. For the money, you can't beat them
I received an email from you guys stating you were preparing to build my 1911. So I called to ask about adding Ball Cuts and Eli answered the phone and was all business. All is good!
the more I learn about ACW and watch these videos the more I love this company! Eli is legit!
Eli was the first person I had interaction, with me being a new customer of Alchemy Custom Weaponry. My interactions with him early on in both email and phone calls were probably the best interactions I’ve had with any 1911 custom maker. Absolutely one of the nicest people I’ve spoken to when putting in an order for a new 1911. I love the video content and I always look forward to a new video from ACW. Eli, don’t change what you do on here for these keyboard bushwhackers. Keep up the good work.
Strong work gentlemen!! I’m almost 60, been shooting and carrying 1911s 40 years as LEO and civilian. Your company, videos and marketing has had me following you for a long time!! It’s a great mix of old school, common sense and newer school thinking…. Keep up the great work! As far as these crazy-ass comments from someone me people…. “F”-em if they can’t take a joke. Those are the guys that end up becoming statistics anyway…. Darwinism was a perfect description for them….
Haha! I remember the thread about Eli taking over. I made the Rob on the milk carton pic 😂🤣
It kills me how much hate Eli generates. One of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Now Nick, on the other hand….
This was awesome! Anyone who dislikes Eli clearly has never dealt with him…I think his energy is awesome and I am proud to be an ACW customer!
Great stuff. James Yeager being channeled at the end.
As soon as I can afford it....I'm buying an Alchemy 🤷♂️. Got a few bills to pay first though. I like your style. Not just the style of your pistols and their aesthetic, but the way you people present yourselves and your passion.
We'll be here when you're ready to "pull the trigger". I appreciate your support! A lot of the passion you see in the gun industry these days is manufactured... but we really do love what we do.
@alchemy1911 I agree, there's too much fake passion and fake enthusiasm in the industry. The genuine passion you guys have is why I'm going to be spending my money at your company.......as soon as I can afford at least a deposit 😬
I'm only 41 years old, but in my opinion Eli is extremely mature and wise for 24, and is the best addition to ACW you guys could have made. GREAT content from Eli and Rob. Still love my Classic Carry.....
That means so much to me! Thank you! Glad you're still loving the Classic Carry! RING HAMMER!
@@alchemy1911 I can already see this comment being printed out and handed to me in my Annual Review with Eli....
I love the content! I'm 42, and you inspired me to carry my 1911 more. Keep up the amazing work.
Keep it Gangsta. Do whatever you want with your content. Keeps me watching. F..k the haters.
Hey! I remember being the first person to respond to that airhead @10:05 HAHA.
lol, this is awesome. Love watching companies laugh about the ridiculous emails they get from “customers”.
Lot of companies don't do this because they're afraid of making people even more mad. We embrace it.
Your doing a great job fellas keep doing EVERYTHING your doing! There are always going to be people out there with HATE in their hearts STAY PASSIONATE n keep pushing your message about this great piece of history!
You guys are awesome, Just ordered my Prime carry, the two of you make me want more!
The ACW gangsta T shirts need to be a thing please. I’ll buy 3
Tell Nick, I already have the design for an Alchemy Gangster Weaponry shirt drawn up.
Im buying my next 1911 from ACW & im getting it Gangster as Efff. You guys make some SERIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL EQUIPMENT 💪🍻
Glad I got to meet Eli a few years back, really cool to see how far he’s come. Y’all keep up the good work!
Great show
Down with big polymer. I like your guys sense of humor and love your pistols
Love the K&K, Harry Hyde built charger on your shirt!
I have always been a nighthawk guy but I will be ordering a prime elite carry hard crome because of Eli!
"I don't like you using the word Gangster". - That is why no one will remember your name
Appreciate you guys a lot! I'm working on getting my deposit ready!!!! I SHALL HAVE AN ACW BELOVED MASTERPIECE before I kick the bucket I know that!!!!
"I let the hate flow through me..." I love this company more every day!!
I love your videos. Great sense of humor. Haters are going to hate.
I think Eli is great, even said so on them there forums😂 Thanks again Eli, keep up the good work making the haters hate.
Eli is awesome! I’m saving up for an Alchemy Custom Weaponry 1911!
Dang, it’s ok to have a bit of fun with 1911 manufacturing. It’s an art, but folks need to lighten up.
Yep, they sure do. Funny enough, this video about hate mail... actually generated more hate mail...
@@alchemy1911 Good thing you’re not making Samurai swords and katanas, they’d suggest that you commit hari kari!
Eli is pretty much solely responsible for parting me with thousands of dollars spent towards high end 1911s and I couldn't be happier about it....
Dont forget the colt monitor. The cooler BAR.
As someone who is 31 I really enjoy your videos and I really enjoy the 1911/2011 platform. I do just wish it was easier for someone to get into the platform. That's why big polymer has the younger generation right now it's cheaper to be a player.
I didn't realize Eli was 25 until this video. Smart "kid". He's younger than my boys so I can get away with calling him that 😂.
I appreciate that! I feel like a lot of times no one thinks I'm the age that I am... but when they find out it changes things.
@@alchemy1911 I found age is not an indicator of intelligence. One of the sharpest techs I work with is younger than you & other than him constantly reminding me I'm old & fat and me asking if he wants to die a virgin....
The people who write these hate mails probably put "NOT RECOMMENDED" in their video titles. Or Batman grips on their custom 1911s. Or both.
Love the show, Brother 😎😎😎
You guys sure poke a lot fun at plastic handguns
I have owned a plastic hand gun and I loved it, of course I was 9
Keep doin what you are doin
Awesome video.I enjoyed all the previous ones ,but this one was top notch.Let the hate flow thur you.
I'd buy that AGW shirt
lol "let the hate flow thru me" love it Rob. HEY - It would be cool to do a video of both of y'all's typical daily carry, including any knives, flashlights, multitools, etc. Just curious
I remember watching that video where Eli was in Classic Firearms and i laughed at everything he said pretty much....😂 Macho man 4 life brother!!
I’m in for an XL “Alchemy Gangsta Weaponry” shirt and hat please!
Nick's laugh 😂😂😂😂😂😂. I'm dead.
I was good until I heard Nick's laugh. I think that was the first time he had heard that comment + RCSJR's delivery...
There best not be any slander against your love of NASCAR (the Lord’s favorite sport)
I’m pretty disappointed that my comments on NASCAR didn’t make the cut ngl. Thanks for teaching me ngl by the way. Jeff Dunham said it best, “NASCAR is easy to follow when you’re hammered.”

I definitely admire your work and like the sense of humor yall approach the subject matter with but I have one suggestion If you really want to be "gangster" offer your pistols in 38 super after all it's well know real gangsters loved that caliber in 1911s as well as the Tommy gun.😎👍
Hysterical, gentleman!
Thanks for the laugh at the expense of those poor lonely bastards who took time outta their day to write such a scathing indictment of the enthusiastic young man.
I really enjoyed this, to funny
Need to buy one of your guns!!
I think your pretty intelligent for being 24 years old… I thought you were in your late thirties before I heard you mention your age.. You got great content so please keep it coming, my friend… The haters are most likely a bunch fudge packers so the hell with them anyway… lmao😂
Keep building great great pistols guys! The negative feedback is just proof that those individuals know nothing about a precision built pistols or how to have a little fun.
Love the 1911...do you make a clone of the a1 model i do like the historical look as well
Let's do the shirts say gangster and I say that to my friends all the time lol
It is just plain crazy how butt hurt people get. Fun video yall. Keep up the great work.
Lol! Perfect responses to vapid criticisms. Roll on, American Gangsta gun builders!
Sorry… one more question. What appendix holster do you use for your 1911? I have been curious about trying that carry option out for mine.
I use either Tier 1 Concealed or LAS Concealment! Here are the links to what I use:

CZ guy but gonna need an Alchemy or two someday.....
You could have any gangster tool talk some foolishness yet I am still watching those sweet alchemy 1911's. Dude is not an issue, comment sections are.
If you make an Alchemy Gangster Weaponry shirt I’ll have to buy one, which means I’ll have to buy an ACW 1911 to go with it (maybe a quantico hi cap if y’all wanna send a DLC optic cut one to your Charlotte dealer 😉)
lol "BUD" we got a lady at my company that uses that and every time we cringe.....she's about as narcissistic as it gets too.
Eli makes me want to get an acw
I’m lucky I can get a belt to fit, that’s gangsta Capone, lol
I'm not sure I would had invoked John Gotti's name
Yea it’s dumb when people on a video prove and show that the guns is clear or not … not like I’m going to get shot through my phone
Hell I’m an old dude and I carry an Ed Brown cobra in appendix carry TRex side car every day. Save the leather on the hip for my BBQ gun.
Haters gonna hate, Lovers gonna love. and I Love me some 1911!
Mr. Rattlesnake tried to bit my wee doggie last week and one shot to the head from my 1911 and the end of Mr. Snake! No, it didn't take 16 rounds of Spray and Pray from a Plastic Fantastic to get the job done. Accuracy trumps a shower of rounds down range every time! ;
Definitely made ya famous. But he did convince me I didn’t need one of your products.
Congratulations on your fame.
You know why it’s so lonely at the top . ( ACW )Because it’s so dam crowded at the bottom (Haters) Quote David Lee Roth .
The people who cry about someone not checking a chamber on youtube are the same ones that complain about people not wearing helmets on bikes.
NGL, i think your DOUCHE TOOL there is proving to be quite useful.😂😂 (I think at 52, that's the best GenZ speak I've got.) 1911 forever🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🤘🇺🇸
The best way to get younger people into the 1911s is to make them affordable. A young person is not gonna spend $2,000 to $3,000 on a handgun. I am a 32 year old that only carries 1911s but the most expensive one I have cost me $750.
As a 25 y/o, I understand that, but we could not make our quality of pistol at that price point. We have over 20 hours of hand work that go into our guns. It's like telling Ferrari that the only way to get young people into Ferraris is to produce a car for $30,000.
Can you give me the link to the Cream of the Crop promo video for the 1911 mentioned in this video?! I carry a full size 1911 in God’s Holy Wrath of .45 Auto and I’m a huge Randy Savage fan. Same can be said for my Pastor and he would love to see that video. I just can’t seem to find it 😂
I don't understand why you guys even respond to these comments... Just keep making some of the highest quality 1911s available. The weapons speak for themselves. I should probably apply for a job with ACW. Can I work 3 half days per week, from home? How much is the employee discount?
We responded to them because RCSJR and I had a good time laughing about them and thought yall would too. We'll keep up the work! (This was filmed way after hours anyway!)
If you'd like to see the video on UA-cam that generated a LOT of hate, check the link below. I'm in the intro, but ACW is also the first company interviewed. The comments are something else.
