For those who appreciate the craftsmanship, reliability, and performance of a high-end 1911, Guncrafter Industries stands as one of the elite manufacturers in the world. With an unwavering commitment to precision and quality, their firearms are more than just tools—they are investments in excellence. At Second and Eleven, we recognize the value of owning a firearm that blends heritage with modern innovation, and that’s why we proudly offer Guncrafter’s elite lineup.
Precision Engineering Meets Timeless Design
A true 1911 aficionado understands that not all 1911s are created equal. The Guncrafter CCO (Concealed Carry Officer) model, for example, exemplifies the company’s commitment to high-performance handguns. Featuring a Commander-length slide paired with an Officer’s Model grip, this configuration provides an ideal balance of compactness, control, and shootability.

Every detail is meticulously designed—from the 15 LPI checkering on the front strap to the precision-machined bar stock components that eliminate the use of inferior MIM parts. The Heinie Ledge sights ensure fast target acquisition while offering durability that stands up to real-world conditions. The slide-to-frame fit, barrel bushing, and three-point barrel lockup are executed with such precision that the pistol cycles like it’s running on glass.

Performance on the Range
Owning a high-end firearm isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about how it performs when it matters most. Guncrafter’s 1911s are designed for combat accuracy and unwavering reliability. When tested with SIG Sauer Elite .45 ACP ammunition, the results speak for themselves:
- 230-grain FMJ – 2.7-inch groups at 25 yards
- 185-grain V-Crown JHP – 2.0-inch groups
- 200-grain V-Crown JHP – 1.6-inch groups
- 230-grain V-Crown JHP – 1.9-inch groups
These results highlight the pistol’s exceptional accuracy, making it a formidable choice for both defensive and competitive shooting applications.

Carrying a Guncrafter 1911
A high-performance 1911 deserves a holster that matches its quality. Whether you opt for a premium leather shoulder holster like the Nightingale Sandpiper for cold-weather carry or a Kydex OWB holster for range sessions, proper holster selection enhances both comfort and accessibility. The CCO model’s Officer’s frame makes it easier to conceal while maintaining a full grip for superior control under stress.
