  1. Recommendations for Very High-End 1911s

    Anyone know anything about Alchemy? I've been seeing a lot of those on 1911 forums. Good looking guns.
  2. Recommendations for Very High-End 1911s

    Very good insight and exactly the type of opinion I am looking for. Thank you.
  3. question for anyone who has completed an 80% "gun'

    The ruler is generous of you...but you'll need to spurge on the digital micrometer. Luckily I have one lying around I use for building AKs.
  4. question for anyone who has completed an 80% "gun'

    Just don't see how you could turn the virgin barrel to the correct journal size for trunnion, rsb, gas block & sight; drill all of the receiver holes accurately, press, populate and pin the barrel; drill and pin all of the barrel components; and rivet all components in 60 minutes. I would...
  5. Recommendations for Very High-End 1911s

    Seems like above the quality of a Dan Wesson, Les Baer, or Ed Brown (along with some others mentioned in this thread) the returns are diminishing. Thanks for all the input everyone!
  6. question for anyone who has completed an 80% "gun'

    Would love to inspect one of your builds. From demill to finish there is no way in hell you could slap together an AK in an hour and do a quality job. You'd have to be moving fast as hell and hit no snags and be using a pre-headspaced/pre-populated barrel, a demilled kit, with rivet holes...
  7. Recommendations for Very High-End 1911s

    Ever go to a car show to look at cars? Same idea. I like to look and learn so one day when I'm ready I know what I want. I guess you would call it a wall hanger, but I'd have every intention to use it and carry it on property. I want a usable looker.
  8. Recommendations for Very High-End 1911s

    The Cabot Guns really looked nice. Classic yet modern twist. I wonder if anyone has any experience with this manufacturer.
  9. question for anyone who has completed an 80% "gun'

    You must be one hell of a builder to assemble and AK in one hour...I guess if the barrel came populated, the kit was already demilled, and you did a screw build. But still an hour is pushing it and you'd have a very sloppy AK. That's just from my experience building dozens. I know you were just...
  10. Recommendations for Very High-End 1911s

    I am falling down the rabbit hole that is the 1911 and wanted to get some names of top makers of custom high-end 1911s to look at. I don't really know the threshold for "high-end", but I am seeing 4K - 5K+ newly manufactured 1911s. I found Cabot Guns, Ed Brown, Nighthawk...But not sure if these...
