Thread: Guncrafter 9mm 1911s?

  1. #1

    Guncrafter 9mm 1911s?

    I really like the no name patter pistol from gun crafter but can't find much on their 9mm versions. Anyone have experiences or opinions?

    I’ve had an adjustable sight 5” no name 9mm for a few years.

    Great gun, bought it used on the recommmendation of a local high end 1911 dealer. Stupid accurate and awesome trigger pull. Reliable with decent ammo and mags. I’m running mostly older Wilson’s.

    Some may not like the 20 LPI checkering and I needs to swap out the gold bead front for a FO because / old eyes.

    My understanding is GC are former Wilson employees who left on good terms, as opposed to the Nighthawk crew, so GC pistols seem to use a lot of Wilson parts.

    Sample of one but @NickA and @JM Campbell have shot it and can give you their impressions.

    Should be lots of info on 1911addicts.com. I believe GC charges $300-350 for 9mm

    I think over there on that site they are quietly held in higher regard. I had one I only put 1000rss through. In 45 though. It was built like a tank with a great trigger. They seem to be very consistent with very little negative press but I haven’t read up in a long time.

    I don't have any real experience with 1911s (high end, 9mm or otherwise [emoji16] )but yeah, HCM's is holy shit fun to shoot. And it certainly seemed well made - everything tight but not excessively so, clean lines on the checkering, etc. Just a really nice gun.

    He’s not aloud to bring it to the range anymore, he might find a well worn M&P9 and some rocks in his gun sleeve.

    It shoots very flat and the trigger on that gun is smooth as f***. I also really like the safety on it as well. It has me lusting after a sti 2011 more, especially if it shoots 90% as good as the guncrafter.

    Take it for what it's worth-1911 pistolsmith Ned Christiansen holds GC in very high regard. He wrote a review for the American in 45, for SWAT Mag, but I cannot find it....

    I'm certainly impressed by the testimonials above. Have you checked out Alchemy? They're the latest shiny object to catch my attention.
