Are you one of those who looks at the GLOCK 42 with thinly veiled contempt? Someone who wouldn’t carry anything smaller than a 9mm and can’t stand the smell of polycarbonate in the morning – or any other time? You’re in luck then. Guncrafter Industries has expanded their CCO line of commander-sized 1911s, adding a model in 9×19. You’ll want to save your shekels (or intercept that tax refund check before the spousal unit sees it) though. All that custom goodness doesn’t come cheap. MSRP is $2,945. Press release after the jump . . .
GUNCRAFTER INDUSTRIES EXPANDS THE “CCO” LINEUP TO INCLUDE 9MM.
Huntsville, AR – Guncrafter Industries expands on the newly added “CCO” line to include the 9mm, making it the ideal choice for all who are looking for the perfect custom carry pistol.
The “CCO” is Guncrafter Industries take on an old favorite. For daily carry the “CCO” gives you the best choices for conceal-ability and accuracy with the sight radius of a “Commander” (4.25” Barrel) and the concealable grip of an “Officers” model making it the best choice for the pistol that is nicely tucked into the IWB holster. This combination is known to the old school gunmen as the perfect combination for daily work, now it is time to show the concept to a whole new generation of 1911 fans.
The CCO comes to you with Guncrafter’s Tritium sights both front and rear for low light work. This specimen is finished in the standard Black Melonite for extreme use and protection and in 9mm, but it is available in other finishes and calibers of you’re choosing. The front strap and mainspring housing are treated with 15 LPI x 90 degree checkering to offer a secure hold for ultimate controllability in the fight, yet the rounded profile of the housing makes it quite comfortable for all day carry. This pistol was built in 9mm but can also be had in .45acp. The “CCO” is another masterpiece from Zimmermann’s small band of artisans in the woods of Northwest Arkansas that is Guncrafter Industries.

“Republican” or not, Cheri Gerou is a POS blather mouth and needs to be retired from office. Hopefully she gets some viable competition in the primary and we can get rid of her finally.
Wouldn’t it be fun to watch the next gubernatorial election if Chickenlooper signed the bill to repeal a law he signed into law in hopes it would save his behind?
I have two. My grandpa told me as a little kid that someday the Remington 760 Gamemaster he had on his wall was going to be my hunting rifle. It was made in the early 50’s. When I turned 12, my grandpa told me to come on over and grab my rifle. I did and it has been my hunting rifle ever since. It is old as heck and even his name on the leather sling. My dad said I needed to save some money for the scope. I saved and went down to Bi-Mart and bought it myself when I was 14 or so. He came home from work and told me I wasn’t supposed to buy the scope yet because he was going to double my saved money to get a really nice scope. The scope works fine and holds zero.
The second one is my Springfield Armory M1 Garand. I got it through the CMP two years ago. I have wanted one for a very long time and I just didn’t know enough on how to get one. It is a great rifle and I am sure it has a lot of history behind it.

Oh look, another 1911 that cost more than quality, semi automatic rifle, say it isn’t so.
$3k? what?
I’m not really a 1911 fanboy but I would actually love a short-grip single-stack 9mm 1911 with a poly lower – but I think that pretty much is getting close to just being a SIG.
Something about 9mm 1911s has always appealed to me, and I don’t know why.
Here I was thinking LEOs enjoyed every opportunity they can to stick it to us ignoramuses. I like this man.
This is starting to remind me of the urban legend about the guy that pawned his Rolls Royce for $1000 before leaving on a two-week trip to Europe…
Eh… You can get a cheaper and BETTER gun with a Dan Wesson ECO in 45 or 9mm.
I usually carry an ECO or Shield, lately.
Mine is 2GD-62L, so I guess I’m good. Still not impressed with Winchester leaving out any details on compensation or replacement.
This is funny – it’s also a good showcase for wishful thinking. In one of the most corrupt countries in the world, they expect this to be enforced. It’s staggering to think how bad the crime will be. Eles são muito estúpido.
My late grandfather’s 1954 Savage 99E and 1948 Ithaca Model 37 and the 1972 Marlin 39M that he bought me when I turned 13.
Cue the whining about price of custom 1911s, and 1911s in general…
CCO sized 1911s, gotta love ’em.

How old are you guys?
You’ve never spent the night out late on a friend’s couch? Or in the company of a young lady?
Then you wake early and hoof it back to your place to get ready for work or class. Just being out at 6 AM doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.
On not wanting police to search your place, I bet there are a hundred regular posters here who wouldn’t want the police searching their places either just out of principle. Doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. And even if he did happen to have a bong hidden in the closet, so what?
I live in NYC… please help me :”[
The ignorance is strong in this one…
At least we still can buy off rostered handguns in pivate sales. And those moving here can bring all they want (threaded barrels are the only exception). And there are still SSE and SAE ways of buying off roster new. Though that last might get axed.
When CA first passed the roster, with its drop testing, the manfacturers should have threw a fit then. If it were only about safety, heck even if it were only about “Saturday night specials” and driving out the “ring of fire” manufacturers, there wouldn’t have been a need to pay a yearly fee of $200 per model. Just test it and done. Te ability to retest up to 5% a year would allow any to be removed that did become unsafe. The only reason for that fee, which amounts to small beans in revenue, is so that they could add new requirements, not have to deal with legal challenges that might result if they made such laws retroactive, but then have the models eventually fall off, because even a small fee will not be paid by a manufacturer that no longer makes said model. Same reason for treating every little change as substantial. Some models will be around decades, but with no changes at all? Unlikely. The law allows only purely cosmetic changes, and even those you pay for.
The annual renewal, and the any change is a new model rule exist only to that old pistols can slowly fall off. That is the only logical reason for them. Ruger and SW are just accellerating the process
Resurrection is only possible through the Power of God, which is not available to the Devil. His diabolical factotems, the Vodoo priests, have through sorcery created a facsimile of death and resurrection through various potions and natural toxins. But the result is only a shadow of life, the victims are lost souls with little awareness and no memory of their past life.
By contrast, the Resurrection, when it comes will be a glorious occasion for all who love Christ and yearn for his return. Those who deny Christ will be burnt up by his arrival. The second resurrection will be for non believers, and will end in their permanent death in the lake of fire should they succumb to the further blandishments of the Devil.
So who do you place your hopes in? What prophecies and predictions are you prepared to believe? Look to the Bible for answers as to who reveals the truth, and who is an inveterate liar. But either way, try to avoid Zombies. You might burn your fingers on your blazing hot barrel before you fight your way out.
I know GunCrafter pistols are high. I’m a retired NCO from the Army. I was medical retired with almost 23 yrs. this past Dec 2010. My body just gave out with all the punishment of my great career choice and I would do it all again. I have three pistols from GunCrafter and another being built with my specifications. This one is the CCO 45 cal. The biggest difference between GunCrafter and any mass produced name brand out there….GunCrafter starts the build of your pistol upon your order. I can make a long list of the things GunCrafter does that most other gun makers don’t. One of the top is, they still do things by hand, buy using there expertise in hand fitting all components. There not afraid of using a file for that best fit. You can pick up a GunCrafter, then a Kimber, H&K, or any other mass produce pistol and know right up front your handling a piece of art. When you shoot a GunCrafter pistol and then anyone else’s, you feel the difference, hear the difference, and know the difference. I can go on and on about how GunCrafters build a better pistol. But no matter what I say; until you lay your hands on one, until you stand on that firing line and pull that trigger, you will never understand what your missing.
I have many different brands, models; calibers, and in my 23 years of shooting many different firearms in many different parts of the world, I stand beside GunCrafters and I know you would to if you gave them a chance as I did. I have another 6-7 months before I will have my new CCO paid in full. That moment I do, the moment I receive my new pistol I will have a bigger smile on my face, pride in my step in knowing I have one of the best pistols out there for sport shooting, hunting and Protecting My Family.
All I can say is give them a try and you will have few pistols in your gun cabinet knowing you have the best.
Guncrafter makes a VERY nice gun. Actual human beings spend time building their guns by hand. You can complain about the price all you want but some people place value on fine craftsmanship and are willing to pay for it.
I own a guncrafter no name and it is hands down the best pistol I have ever owned.
Do all you price whiners drive Kia’s? If not why would you drive anything that cost more?
Guncrafter Industries is the best! Better than Wilson combat, better then les baer, and better then nighthawk, and Ed brown, and better then Dan wesson.
In today’s world, and market of technology and cheaper ways to make everything, like (MIM) Mold injected metal, cast frames, cast everything ,there’s a lot of cheap guns out there. Go pick of a Ruger SR1911 it’s the cheapest gun I’ve ever seen. It looks like it would be sold by family dollar.
When you pay $2.7k to $4,000k on a Guncrafter pistol, you are paying for only the best in the world.
Everything is made from Barstock, tool steel, and forged one piece at a time, them handfitted, checked, then checked again, then again. Your paying for the best quality you can buy.
It’s a shame because, we have done it to our selves, you can lie to your self saying your $800 1911 is quality and it is not.
We are required to pay it least $3,000 to get quality in today’s time. Which is sad, but a Guncrafter will provide it for you.
Everything is about making something faster, and cheaper.
Guncrafter builds the gun, and comes up wits a price later lol.
You will not be disappointed with it.
