@@crewdog2898Alchemy makes single stacks, too. So does Nighthawk, WC, Cabot, and many others. Dan Wesson is great for a premium production single stack.

[@freedmansjournal]

Personally I like it. it is the way a gun should look. Some of the crazier designs I find less aesthetically pleasing

[@ZensivYT]

Never thought I’d see Skip get an Alchemy

[@SkipsGunz]

Just a good buddies gun I’m more of a ported project guy lol

[@8BloodyKnuckles]

That is an amazing pistol. Absolutely dig it! 🤘

[@richardomendez6480]

So glad I discovered this channel

Okay our 2A Community Einstein you have been chillin too long now, the north midwestern community all over in fact has been waiting for the saga to continue. I'm sure its going to hit soon.. Very nice content on the Alchemy HI Cap bruh..!😎

[@SkipsGunz]

Well said

[@TheCamaro5]

Reminds me of the Les bear ads on outdoor channel. Otherwise I never hear of Les bear 1911.

[@ChuckSneed88]

This acw is really cool bc its morseo a resto mod of the double stacks and 2011s that the fbi hostage rescue team specifically experimented with in the 90s with some modern touches like the slide mounted optic plate system. They messed with some STI guns and custom builds off STI frames, Caspian wide body frames, and for a while used Les Baer custom para ordnance guns known as "Les Paras". The draw back with all of them at the time being the magazines i believe. They ended up going back to springfield custom shop 1911s and then glocks inevitably. The idea of the duty 2011 is much older than many people think it is. Not exactly related to the FBI guns but there were also seals in the 90s and 2000s that also ran custom 2011s. The channel Ghosts of the battlefield on here has a good video with a seal where he shows his custom 2011 he carried with him for years and where they go over some other neat combat 1911 history if youre into the history side of things. Its pretty cool. Excellent video as always skip.

[@BrettHogue]

Comment of the year. 100%. I didn’t know about the SEAL 2011s, looks like I’m going down that hole today.

[@SkipsGunz]

Thankyou my friend

[@ChuckSneed88]

@@BrettHogue Larry Vickers also has a video or two I think on his podcast channel where he's talking about Delta 1911s and delta testing double stacks/2011s although I've always felt he has a little bias against the split frame 2011 design (no hate to Larry at all tho he's a legend) but it's also a very good insight into his thoughts and experiences and delta 1911 history. Fun rabbit hole to go down, often forgotten and over shadowed part of the platforms history and I really love 80s and 90s double stacks in general personally bc those are what i grew up shooting with my dad and friends.

[@BrettHogue]

@@ChuckSneed88 That’s good info to have, thank you. Alchemy has a resto mod limited edition series where they do 25 guns of each every quarter. There are some really cool examples on their website. Hopefully they pick up this ball and run with it, like they did with the MEUSOC.

[@Aviation_Professional]

Shot a hicap last week. Definitely a nice accurate shooter. Trigger reset was off, but nice shooter.

[@BigJohnsonGG]

Beautiful firearm! 🇺🇸

[@SkipsGunz]

Old school

[@jacrispy9603]

Best thing about the ACWs is that they are absolute shooters. One of my favs to shoot even in comparison to some of the big names.

[@codymullican1988]

Pistol wall goals!

[@hartleymcleod7830]

I would love to see what you can do with a Bul Armory EDC Pro. I just bought one and want to take it to another level.

[@SkipsGunz]

So send it in will getit rolling

[@becausealiens2996]

I love the way these look. Have you ever had your hands on a sbardella arms gun? I’d love to know what you think of them.

[@SkipsGunz]

Not yet

[@ScottGraham]

Super cool.

[@Chris-ez7lu]

Grenat vidéo ❤ thank you

[@asasingleton9749]

Its nice, but for $4500, I could get something like an XC or even 2 Bul Armory Tac Pros that are kitted out!

[@BrettHogue]

Have an XC that SGz is working on currently. He’s also done my XL and a Prodigy. The Hi Cap probably isn’t most people‘s first 2011. But it slots nicely into my lineup around number six or seven.

[@colt1033]

Xc garbage get a trs, comparing the two is silly

[@asasingleton9749]

​@BrettHogue Well said! It makes perfect sense for this one to come in at number 6 or 7. Its far from number one at that price though😅

[@BrettHogue]

@@colt1033A man of equally fine taste. Would you get the TRS comp over the Sandhawk? The Sandhawk has been on my list for a while.

[@asasingleton9749]

​@@colt1033 Not silly for me to compare at all. Price matters to some of us mere mortals so comparing is exactly what I will do. But thanks for your opinion anyway!

He trolled us when he called this POS “COOL”

[@chrisgilbert2152]

such a dick! Im sure were related!!!

[@warrenjoseph2605]

😂😂😂

[@TheLifeofRon]

@ that’s meeeeee how’d you know 😎

[@BrettHogue]

Hold on, I gotta cancel that FedEx from West Virginia to Michigan. 😂

[@TheLifeofRon]

@ I love you Brett! But if you wanted to homage to a traditional 1911 just buy an old Cold 1911 not pay X6 more for a gun that looks like a traditional 1911. Oh I forgot it has a gold bead front sight tho 👍🏼 money “well spent”

[@jamesalexander7398]

That is the only 2011 that I haven’t gotten yet

[@2ANLA]

My Man!!!!! They are really good guns. They are just not that aesthetically pleasing.

[@BrettHogue]

I think the Hi Cap is for someone who wants a more subtle look, but values the high quality, hand built aspect of it. Most people would look at it and think it’s nothing special. But if you know, you know.

[@SkipsGunz]

You and I are just very high maintenance lol 😂

[@2ANLA]

@@SkipsGunz FACTS!!!!

[@PnP-td1mt]

Are you new to machining? I do agree with old school manual machining being a lost art. Specially old manual lathe guys.. some claiming it are running parts on mills with massive amounts of slop in the ways and spindle. Which is why so much hand fitting has to occur. Cutter wear is only a problem if you don’t know what you are doing. Tool setters are a thing because cutter regrinds are a thing.. the tool setter offsets wear. Both diameter and length. Run the pre setter after each tool change if you haven’t studied tool life.. go a step further and run probing. The tighter your machine and machining tolerances the less hand fitting you have to do. We have in house designed and properly EDM machines know as “fast hole”. Wire and 20kW lasers.

[@SkipsGunz]

Was just explaining it the ways that everyone can understand bud

[@Mike_Hawkener]

Now ……. This is a 2011 I can get behind

[@SkipsGunz]

She’s a looker

[@warrenjoseph2605]

I hate FBI agents

[@SkipsGunz]

I plead the 5th lol

[@Aviation_Professional]

In this day and age, you're spot on. Hopefully soon to change.

[@naji2naji]

That is not a ball cut

[@SkipsGunz]

Sorry standard cut
