ACW 2024 Resto-Mod: Classic Government

- By the end of the Great War (the first time we kicked Germany’s ass), the Colt’s Model of 1911 was cemented into the history books as “America’s Gun”. Even as the revolver clung to popularity, the men who were forced to “live by the gun” soon realized the Colt’s .45 was THE premier choice in handguns. By this time, Colt had commercialized their automatic success, dubbed the “Government Model” to differentiate from the military’s M1911 designation. Now, every American citizen could harness the power of Browning’s Genius, purchased over the counter at your local hardware store (it was a different time, back then).
Fast forward to 2024, and Alchemy Custom Weaponry is proud to announce the Classic Government (unfortunately, not purchased over the counter at your local hardware store). This full-sized, .45 ACP pistol is the PERFECT blend of turn of the century aesthetics and modern enhancements. The gun that gunfighters “back in the day” wish they had.
We start this pistol with all hand fit and finished components, as you’ve come to expect with Alchemy Custom Weaponry pistols. New for this Limited Edition, is the use of a Harrison Spur Hammer and Harrison “Retro” Thumb Safety to bring about a “hot rod” look and feel to this time-defying pistol. Other features include the lack of frame scallops (as is correct for a pre-transitional period Gov’t Model), slide markings styled from a 1919 manufactured Colt, and, making its debut as a new option, ACW’s take on Cabot’s Vintage Classic finish. While the front strap does feature our 25LPI Comfort Carry checkering, the mainspring housing (ft. lanyard loop) utilizes gorgeous vertical serrations. A symbiotic blend of classic and contemporary, building on over a century of the 1911’s track record as the world’s greatest side arm.
Love how the roll marks are done in the same style as a colt! That's a classy touch.
We worked hard to make sure it was as perfect as possible.
I was hoping that finish would become an option for all of the guns. That's so sick! A Quantico in this finish would go super hard.
1000000%!
Keeping the shootablity to me is part of the resto mod appeal. Good choice.
Perfect blend of modern and classic. Love it!
That's the idea!
Best looking classic 1911 pistol made. Nice job! Just out my order in!
Amazing weapon. It looks like you tumble finished it. Classy 😊
This should be in your regular selection.
Nicely thought out restomod! Love the Harrison components, please add them to your regular options.
Diggin' those roll marks.
Thank you!
The fact that Colt doesn't even attempt to make a production gun similar to this.. is sad.
They actually did lol, it’s called the Colt limited ! I think gun broker still has some available
It's basically just a normal colt 1911 government.... with front strap checkering.
Not all that special.
ACW GANG 🔥
The gun that will ascend through the age's ⏳️
Thank you, sir!
@@alchemy1911 no..thank you sir 🔫🤠🇺🇸
Now that's awesome
Sweet finish. It is too bad Alchemy doesn't do Hi Powers; the only custom Hi-Power I've seen recently was a MK3 Hi-Power and it was pretty cool. But a Hi Power with this finish and some battle-worn wood grips would look great.
Yeah, we'll probably never do a HP.
Oh my god… This is the most beautiful fucking gun I have ever seen
Thank you!
one of the most beautiful 1911s i've seen
Out of all the Resto-Mod's, I think this is the "one". Don't know how you could possibly top it. I want it as my "old man" gun. Great job ACW.
It was either this gun or lasik surgery. As of exactly one week today i can see perfectly, sadly just won’t be able to see me owning this :(
Could you guys add this same thumb safety to my Quantico?
You guys have a showroom at Fort Wayne yet? Or is that even a plan? I'd love to drive over and get my hands on some of these before i buy another one.
There ya go with the constant gun porn🤣 Absolutely stunning and I hope to own an ACW one day
This must be the 10th time I watched this video. 😎
Needs the GI grip safery.
Where is my credit card!!!!!
Eli probably has one of every limited run. He must make a good salary!
I’m definitely going to order a Prime Elite Carry in that finish. Holy shit. Also, do you two have a calendar of events you’ll be attending? I live in Iowa, work too much, but really want to meet y’all!
I'LL TAKE IT.!!
-oops sorry, wrong forum.
Seriously though, can that finish be retro applied to an ACW I already own?
That was my first question...my Prime Elite shipped today, and I need to make sure I can send it back
Email me!
So, is this a limited edition hence retro mod or can this be ordered and if so how much ? And how long for delivery ?
❤
Geeze how much to send in my prime elite for that finish?
Email me.
Shoutout to this zoomer being this passionate about retro 1911s. Definitely stands out in a crowd of Glock 19 and Staccato kids 🫡
Please do a video about the finish because I think I want a Prime Elite in it. It probably looks better in hand than it photographs like matte chrome.
Can you get it with an ambi safety?
No sir.
Might sell my car to get one if they’re still available. Any mil discount?
Sold out.🙁
Why do 1911 people pay $1000+ for a $500 gun?
Because its hand fit & finished, you get what you pay for.
@@jimtewa8096 that sounds lame
@@Ben2k109well you know what they say, the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys, unless you own a high end 1911 and shoot one you shouldn't make that statement.
If you have to ask you obviously wouldn’t understand. Did you watch the video just to troll?
@@jimtewa8096 that sounds dumb
