    Personally I’d like to see more big money guns shot out of Ransom rests but I digress.

    From a marketing standpoint I agree with the previous that accuracy guarantees are meaningless for the most part given the variables but mechanical accuracy and accuracy potential I think you can absolutely put a dollar amount on.

    If you don't know what you're talking about, don't spout off to someone who does.
    Both of my custom 1911/2011s came with 1.5" at 50yd guarantees and the proof targets to match. Those pistols came from two different custom shops. The X-ring on a B-6 target is 1.695"...that target is shot at 50yds. Recently an AMU competitor shot a 100-8x. You need a 1.5"/50yd to be competitive in certain disciplines.
    The guy who can do XYZ is a rarity...so what? That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about pure mechanical accuracy, not justifications for mediocrity.
    You can like Alchemy's pistol, but don't spew vitriol about something that's pure fact.

    A TWO inch Guarantee at 50 yds. is uncommon. The guy that can shoot 3" at 50 yds., offhand, "field conditions" is a rarity.

    This still didn’t answer his question though.

    The last two for specific builds.
    I refrained from naming two makers because 1) there's no need to play favorites 2) the answer had been delivered previously in the thread.

    That is certainly the cleanest looking 2011 I've ever seen.

    How does alchemy compare to Wilson Combat in terms of reliability?

    I guess I am asking in terms of standard 1911s and would assume that the comparison would still hold for 2011s.

    Good copy. I wasn’t aware those entities and put out publicly a 50yd guarantee. Or I missed it maybe.

    Better than I can shoot so it’s a wash

    ETA: also I believe the PMA promise is 3” at 50, but splitting hairs.
