Even though your Alchemy 1911 comes with a complete owners manual, there are people who refuse to read it or are looking for information that may be outside the pages of that sacred book of knowledge. If you need to have a general question, feel free to browse our FAQ. Maintenance and other topics are covered by our team on various YouTube videos and we have posted support and maintenance-related videos below. Finally, if you have a specific issue or need customer support, you can always contact us.
The most common question we receive is about spring replacement intervals. We recommend using wolf round wire recoil springs in the weights and maintenance intervals below to preserve proper function of your ACW Pistol:
Barrel Length | Caliber | Recoil Spring Weight | Replacement Interval | Mainspring Weight | Replacement Interval |
4.25” | .45acp | 18lbs | 5,000 rounds | 23lbs | 10,000 rounds |
4.25” | 9mm | 12lbs | 5,000 rounds | 19lbs | 10,000 rounds |
5” | .45acp | 16lbs | 5,000 rounds | 23lbs | 10,000 rounds |
5” | 9mm | 11lbs | 5,000 rounds | 19lbs | 10,000 rounds |

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?
