Alchemy "Custom" Weaponry Prime Elite Hard Chrome 1911 Range Review (* Faux "Custom" 1911 *)

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

We no longer recommend Cabot & Alchemy Weaponry Arms products. Their customer service is absolutely terrible. Buy at your own risk, we had numerous problems with guns not being put together properly, lots of QC Issues and ACW even lost one of our pistols at one point... They found the pistol 3 days later. This is the kind of "custom" shop they are running over there. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2q2q5-Hp9Snnas If you want a real custom 1911 that is properly built, buy a Les Baer Custom, Sbardella Arms or Wilson Combat. - B9USA

I think even John Browning would gasp at the prices of his pistols today.

[@abelvasquez9095]

Beautiful 1911.Thank You Both For Your Hard Work Making This Videos 👏

[@rayturano4089]

I carry one on duty. As a 45 year LEO, I've been a chief for the last 15 years, I've carried a 1911 throughout. I have 2 Alchemy Prime Elites in 45. ACP, and a Commander model in 9mm on the way. In examining my pistols, I'm thinking Alchemy uses EGW thumb safety because of the wide gas pedal lever. I use Federal HST and Winchester Ranger on duty, no problems whatsoever. I'm also considering Alchemy's Brimestone model. Stay Safe, great review.

[@scotts685]

@Ray Turano I have the Brimstone ordered and it should be finished at the end of the month. I went with it because I like the Commander style 1911's.

[@1ts3asy]

Gosh I love all the firearms you both own! It never gets old!!

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Thank-you! :)

[@ulisessalas6420]

Whoa!!!! Another beautiful 1911. Sweet!!!!

[@chrisragone8785]

What a piece of art. Great video as always.

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

The attention to deal ACW puts into their firearms is outstanding. Look no further than the mag well. The perfect gun for your return to the range. I liked the Heat music, too. Thanks for sharing, gents!

[@willwilliam217]

Fantastic video as always gentleman. The alchemy is out of my league but the new springfield emissary looks really nice for my next 1911. PS: took a long time due to stock of magnum research desert eagle’s in MI, but finally found a stainless 5” and a blued 3” both in 45 acp. Surprisingly the 3”undercover recoil is quite manageable for my 66 year old body. Had to get warranty work on both and magnum research had amazing turn around time to adjust/repair (under 8 business days). Beretta usa has had my handgun for over two months, talked to them two days ago and they said they have not looked at it yet, plus I had to pay $86 to ship the ten month old gun to them for accuracy issues. (They said their warranty policy does not cover gun accuracy, shoots very low at 10 yards).

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Wow my friend. I would sell that Beretta and pick up the Springfield Emissary as it Looks Awesome and they have Great Customer Service and cover shipping and everything if there is a problem. So does Alchemy Custom Weaponry you see here in this video. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE is a must. I will not buy another New Beretta Pistol now that I know they treated you that way. I hope lots of folks read these comments as we need to stick together and reward good companies that take care of their customers. Springfield & Alchemy look very good for my future purchases. I Vote with my wallet. :) 🥳🤠👍🐉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Beretta Sr.

[@miketaylorID1]

That’s one beautiful 1911! Cabot and Alchemy- 2 sides of the same coin. Can’t go wrong with either. Craftsmanship at its finest! BTW. I liked the product illustration “still” to close out the presentation. Opening up those shadows on a bright sunny day. Nicely done! Cheers

[@victoryhasdefeatedyou6453]

I bought my first 1911 this week a Kimber Rapide keep up the good work y’all 🔥

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

I have that Kimber in Black & 45ACP, I Dig It! Beretta Sr.

[@Lateralus1007]

It upsets me that this episode doesn’t have more views The Alc hard chrome is one of the top 3 best looking hand guns I’ve ever seen , just watched a video on an STI 2011 And this gun Which is similar priced blows the STI away in looks IMO . A true showcase of quality craftsmanship in this video 🥇

[@shootersresourcechannel642]

Beautiful 1911 from Alchemy. Nice review guys.

[@Barbaroossa]

One of the things I most like about this channel is Beretta Jr just hammering that target at 15yrds away with blazing fast fire and getting every shot in there. Most KZbinrs out there get concussed after shooting 45 and can't get more than 2 rounds on target shooting a torso silhouette at 10 yrds away.

[@josuev.2951]

I love those grips

[@johngordon2929]

your background music scared me more than the pew pew. Maybe a video of Budget, Intermediate and Custom 1911 you would recommend. Kind of wrapping all of your videos.

[@andrewbates6840]

Any video is always better with the HEAT bank robbery music in the background. Nice gun.

What a sleek beauty. It could have been given the name: Nachash from its looks.

[@rockydubois2418]

I thought it was my next pistol till he mentioned Cabot guns. That’s when I knew it was out of my league.

[@billbee235]

Got to handle an Alchemy 1911 a month or so ago. Started chatting with a guy at the range while shooting long range rifle and he pulls out an Alchemy 1911. Easily the best 1911 I had every gotten to play around with. Not good news for the bank account, I want one :|

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Yes Sir, that is how it starts. You can order with a down payment and then save up the rest because it takes 8 months to a year to make it and then payoff the Balance. We have done it that way 3 times now. Enjoy! :) 🥳🤠👍🐉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Beretta Sr.

[@WestCoastChicano]

Awesome 1911. I don't know the first thing about maintaining a high end 1911 but would soaking the gun in lube just for the initial break in help. I do that with any new firearm I buy. I know it's not good to use extra lube all the time but one time will not hurt. Also Springfield Armory just released a video on their new 1911. The Emissary. And Cabot did a video about their new 1911 Gran Torino SS. I told them to color them red and white and call it the Starsky and Hutch Gran Torino and they replied their lawyers said no lol. I hope you guys get to review those. Lastly did I hear music from the original Halloween II movie? I have a 7.1 surround system but the music volume was so low I couldn't tell. Gr8 vid as usual guys. 🔫 🇺🇸

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

You my friend are extremely observant! It is music from Halloween II (1981) - we’ve got a treat coming to patreon in September, it’ll go live on YT in October.. 🎃 Our review on the Cabot Gran Torino SS is coming up, it’ll probably be ready by end of September/ Early October for Patreon, sooner if we are able to make it to the range… where we shoot is closed down right now due to high fire danger levels… that has delayed us in getting new shooting content made recently. Anyway, thank you for your constant support Sir, have a great weekend and stay safe! - YB

[@WestCoastChicano]

@@BERETTA9mmUSA Looking forward to that review. 🔫 🇺🇸🔫🇺🇸🔫🇺🇸

[@onpsxmember]

@@BERETTA9mmUSA I think the volume was appropriate, nicely lingers in the background without annoying and I'm on a meh laptop with tiny speakers. It could be the artificial surround mix with a weak volume on the mid speaker that lowers his output.

[@josuev.2951]

I thought Halloween too, but I kept seeing Heat in the comments. Those opening piano notes are unmistakable.

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

@@josuev.2951 I put a lot of different stuff in this video... Some of it hasn't been discussed yet LOL - YB

alchemy prime or night hawk trooper if you had to pick between the two?

[@richardcolligon4277]

Gimmi gimmi gimmi! That is a beautiful 1911, even if you made fun of my Nighthawk. I have a question, which of the high end 1911's do you think shoot's the best. Also the RIA 1911's have one thing that I want and that's their double stack 45, and 10mm. Especially the 10mm with a 16+1 capacity for when we're camping in brown bear country. Last summer we were camping in the Sawtooth mountains of Idaho and my son and the ranger had to dispatch two black bear's. I've found that black bear's are more aggressive then the grizzlies, but I don't want to be pepper smelling increments of either. I absolutely love your video's! Sincerely Ruger Rich.

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

All the Upper End Customs are really Fantastic, including my and your Nighthawks. They are all just a bit different in how they feel and also the Recoil Impulse is a bit different on the Les Baer and Alchemy and Custom and Weaponry that are “Tight Fit”, but all are very accurate to my shooting. Enjoy. 🥳🤠👍🐉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Beretta Sr.

[@richardcolligon4277]

@@BERETTA9mmUSA you guy's are the best, even other KZbin channel's refer to you, that's a feather in your hat. Be safe gentlemen especially senior on the job. I've been trying to find any of the Springfield 1911's. Gunbroker has a lot of their 380's and that's about it. I always go back to your older video's when I want to know something.

Hey Ray, the music was from Collateral. Great movie, with lots of HK USP-45 action. - YB

[@Lateralus1007]

Do you guys use conventional gun oil for these or the gun grease? Never tried the gun grease But also never tried a high end 1911 either lol
