Alchemy Custom Weaponry is proud to offer a collector-grade custom 1911—the Prime Color Case Hardened Classic. With workmanship that is a throwback to old-world finishing, this special Prime model features Doug Turnbull’s Color Case Hardened Classic finish of the lower, which presents a beautiful, complementary contrast to our blued slide. Satin polished flats and ball radius cuts also harken back to the true hand-crafted work master gunsmiths have been delivering for centuries.
Adding to its elegance, the addition of Nitre blue pins and screws, gold-dot front sight, and smooth ebony grips blend superbly to create a timeless addition to the 1911 canonical design that both performs and never goes out of style. The Color Case Hardened Classic is without a doubt a gun both you and your family can cherish for generations to come.
Steeped in tradition, the Prime is the archetype of what a full-size 1911 is all about: everything you need and nothing you don’t. Constructed with frames and slides designed by R. Schauland and hand fit to elite gunsmith standards, the Prime family of pistols all feature the embodiment of 1911 ergonomics, including the highest grip rise in the industry, developed through thirty years of dedication to the art of the custom 1911.
Prime pistols are small production firearms that are a joy to both hold and behold, with a finish that is organic and unique to each pistol. This individuality ensures each Prime owner can customize their 1911 to taste using an array of options (please see below for available choices).
Performance, accuracy, and beauty. Prime.

Welcome to ACW, where we make 1911s the old-school way. Someone in the Government has decided you need to be over 21 to even LOOK at our pistols. Also, some crazy Europeans deem it necessary to tell you our website uses cookies (not the chocolate chip Variety). Well, are you over 21, do you agree to have our cookies (we don’t share them with anyone), and are you READY to feast your eyes on the greatness of John Moses Browning?
