Alchemy Custom Weaponry (ACW) has recently introduced the its restomod, the MEUSOC 1911, a limited edition pistol that serves as a tribute to the iconic United States Marine Corps' custom combat .45 pistol.

The MEUSOC's aesthetic harks back to the classic military pistols of the 1990s, yet it is built with the impeccable internal craftsmanship synonymous with ACW. Each gun is meticulously hand-assembled using oversized components and is finished with a robust hard blast DLC coating. The frame features A1-style scallops and is paired with wraparound Pachmayr grips, foregoing the traditional front strap checkering.

It is further distinguished by its vertical cocking serrations and the installation of a fixed Harrison "Retro" rear sight.

With only 25 units in existence, the MEUSOC is not merely a collector's item but also shows ACW's commitment to excellence. It is designed to perform with distinction, whether used in competitive shooting or tactical scenarios.
