Ok. Not sure what your reading but Alchemys website says their frames and slides are all steel.

4140, 4340 or other?

Correction - I just checked the website and they say 416 stainless.

Stainless is not as tough a material as steel, and will not wear as well - despite the claims some may make. It's like saying that MIM parts are as good as parts machined from billet and heat treated. I don't understand why a company that clearly wants to exist in the pointy part of the pyramid has hooked its wagon to a less durable steel.

I had my most recent 2011 style gun made in 4340 with a black DLC coating.

The rear signt looks like an attempt to get a Novak style sight picture without having to do extra machining beyond the standard dovetail. This is either a flaw or a feature depending on how you view it.

One amazing claim is an "idiot scratch proof slide stop". Could someone here with a Cabot please explain how they worked this miracle?

The Quantico line of pistols , which the OP declined to purchase because he read somewhere that it had an aluminum frame, are 4140 .

Stainless is ok if it takes a bath in salt nitride to harden the wear surfaces. 20241201_182950.jpg

That and waiting times... I'm impatient

The waiting time thing really was the issue...i bought this face to face

I really wanted..a Quantico... sand hawk or cabot insurrectionist

I bought 0 of them because i don't want to wait a year for a gun
