Heavyopp 167 Posted June 26, 2020 I’ve been milling around a rather large purchase — a Guncrafter model 2 in .45 acp wondering if anyone has anything guncrafter, or if you’ve seen one in a shop locally I need to see one in person, hold it — I’ve been back and forth with this for days now, just can’t seem to get myself to pull the trigger Thanks, Jer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danno 127 Posted June 26, 2020 I would buy 3 Kimbers and a bunch of ammo instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fishnut 2,358 Posted June 27, 2020 I do not have one but I did get to shoot one in 50gi. Everything about the gun was awsome. Fit, finish, engraving ect was top notch. It was a step or two above the Nighthawk the guy also had and let me shoot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ronhonda 86 Posted June 27, 2020 It's a nice gun, have you looked at others with a full dustcover and a rail? or are you all in on the guncrafter? I think bullzeyenj a member here might have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heavyopp 167 Posted June 27, 2020 I’m not even sure if I like the full length rail/dust cover — kinda why I want to see one As for the guncrafter, its a new gun priced a few hundred below dealer cost — made by GI as a 45 acp so its not a 50 with the 45 conversion — makes it accept standard wilson mags With the added weight recoil should be nothing, while still being 45 and capable of a light for nightstand duty although i have never seen a GI in person, I’ve always wanted 1 — not particularly the model 2 but it is priced right — I figure I can sell it if I need to and not take a beating Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good value for a solid built and you weren’t paying for a lot of frills. Yes, I have those types of 1911s too and they have their place. If you come up to northern NJ and want to shoot my GC Model 2 in 45acp one day then let me know. Then you can judge for yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
