When you look at the Prime model from Alchemy i’d Say that for less than $100 difference i’d Be really hard pressed to buy the Ruger over the ACW piece, i’ve Had the fortune to handle the ACW gun’s and can tell you that they are as nice or better than anything i’ve ever handled, pure artwork in my opinion. Rob does give an accuracy garantee by the way.
Ruger is truly jumping into the deep end of the pool, I like the Rugers I have butthere’s absolutely no comparison to anything ACW..... As they say “we’ll see”
I think every manufacture that makes 1911's should have a real Custom Shop and a
High end line of 1911 custom pistols . Why not competition is a good thing . 2500.00
for a good hand made well crafted 1911 is in the ball park .
I remember when SACS Professionals were 2500.00 and they were a steal . Alchemy
Customs has a great pistol for 2600.00 that is a knock out 1911
Just a 2 cents worth opinion. This past weekend at a local gun shops big summer bash, I got to send a number of rounds downrange with a Koenig/Ruger 9mm 1911. Damn what a nice gun! It was a demo model so it had been used a bit I would guess, (and that makes it even better) but the trigger was sublime. Light and crisp. The parts felt tight and super smooth in operation. Absolute accuracy was hard to determine as it was a demo day kind of scenario with a lot of people around, but I felt it easily went where I wanted. I am absolutely no expert, but in a quick look and shoot, I can't imagine it could have worked or shot any better. On that very quick analysis, I couldn't tell what you could possibly improve on no matter how much you wanted to spend. Of course, ultimate length of service was impossible to comprehend from that short look. I have always appreciated Rugers for what they are. Good working mans guns at a good price, without the expensive fancy final finishing. All of my Ruger products work reliably and are more accurate than I am. This Custom Shop edition felt like a whole different level of refinement.. I say, go Ruger!
