Anyone have experience with it? Just received new permits and this is the gun I'm itching for but would like some real world feedback as stocking dealers are pretty much non-existent. Looking for no name .45.

Looks very nice what's the price if you don't mind me asking

$2695. Shot a few Wilson's and this is in the same price range, just love the black minimalist look. I buy one gun a year and this would be a splurge but its the only gun that is catching my fancy........or a Glock 21!

I believe gc is one of the high end custom 1911 builders, they just dont have the brand recognition of wilson/ed brown/les baer, etc. All reviews I have read are good on them. They also do custom glock .50 pistols.

 

Im currently in the market for a similar pistol and dont know what to get. There are a lot of options in the 2k+ 1911 market.

Bookmarking this thread.  I'm going to be commissioning a (semi?)custom 1911 soon so I want to see what comes of this.

         I was born in Denmark in 1962 and followed the natural progression of boyhood interest, knives, bows and arrows, airguns and finally "real" firearms.

Getting into competitive handgun shooting in my early twenties, I started a decade long pilgrimage travelling to the US to participate in big matches such as The Steel Challenge, Second Chance, American Handgunner World Shoot Off...etc.

Due to necessity I started to do custom pistolsmithing and also ran my own firearms business; this helped to support me as I completed my BA degree in Mechanical Engineering.

During one of my visits to the US I met with Bill Wilson and was offered a job at Wilson Combat. I spent over 8 years as the Director of Research and Development at WC and had the opportunity to work with some of the best 1911 pistolsmiths in the country, a very rewarding period in my life.

The idea to make a 50 cal. 1911 pistol came to me while studying for my engineering degree in Denmark, but with the very strict legislation on handgun ownership in most of Europe I never took it any further. However, it never left my mind - a 50 caliber pistol that was controllable and executed according to John Moses Browning's classic 1911 design would be a truly great self defense pistol. 

In 2002 I resigned from WC to pursue my dream and formed Guncrafter Industries. Contrary to what many people might think, the shooting industry is rather small and with many behind -the-scenes collaborations. I discovered that I had built up a lot of goodwill over the years and this was now being returned to me as all the pieces of the puzzle came together.

After 2 years of prototyping and R/D work, we were ready to "go public" and the Model No. 1 in 50 GI cal. was introduced at the 2004 Shot Show, the Model No. 2 followed about 6 months late.

The response was overwhelming, a classic case of "be careful what you ask for - you might get it". Starting a new company is hard work, but whenever time allows I continue to shoot competitively; among other shooting accomplishments I have won the National IDPA Stock Revolver Championships 7 times consecutively.

I believe my background as a pistolsmith, mechanical engineer and competitive shooter gives me an edge when applied to the design and making of firearms and parts.

As Guncrafter Industries expands its repertoire the focus will remain on innovation, quality and top notch craftsmanship.

 

At your service,

These are very well regarded on the 1911 sites I frequent. Check out 1911Addicts and 1911Forum.

 

 

It's just so intriguing to me....good reviews, little off mainstream and just beautiful. I wish I could shoot one first!

I like everything but the grip on that gun.  I LOVE the fact that there's no rollmark.  Maybe just add some front slide serrations and an ambi safety...

Talk to Nikos here on the forum. He has a GI Frag 1911.

 

I dont have one yet but its on my short list. I have heard nothing but good things about them. Alex Z used to work for Wilson Combat then branched out on his own. Im curious to find out how they compare to the other semi custom offerings. I would like to get the Model 1 or 2 in 45acp and 50GI. I think the 50GI would be a hoot to shoot albeit expensive even if you reload so thats where the 45acp barrel comes into use.
