Guncrafter No Name (pic heavy)

[domyalex]

After being un-impressed with my STI Sentry (and this is coming from a STI fanboy), I got a very good deal on a used Guncrafter No Name and couldn't be happier. The gun is everything I wished for and then some.
If you are unfamiliar with Guncrafter, you are in for quite some reading, but basically they are the (relatively) new entry in the semi custom market; the owner, Alex Zimmerman used to be head of R&D at Wilson for several years. In the opinion of many, their quality if comparable to Wilson's, albeit with a different style and lower price (since they are still building the brand).
Since I haven't seen many reviews online with closeup pictures or how it looks inside, I snapped a few for your pleasure.
According to the previous owner the gun has ~1100 rounds through it, but to be honest I'm having a hard time finding any wear marks (only the ramp and rails show the tiniest bit).

Enjoy

That's a beautiful pistol—it looks brand new! I must say I had not heard of Guncrafter before I saw in recently on the EE (maybe this one?) and from what I read they sound really good. I especially like the fitting rear of the slide and frame, and the flush muzzle.

Slide to frame fit looks perfect.....bet she shoots nice!
Only thing I don't like is the serrated top strap....other then that its a beauty

All the GCIs that I have seen were good looking pistols with pretty well perfect lug engagement.

Not a huge fan of 15lpi checkering but that's purely a looks thing for me. Not a deal breaker by any means. If you can get a deal on one I think they're very competitive.

I had my doubts about the 15 lpi checkering, but after putting over 300 rnds in 2 days I'm now a big fan; I work with computers, so my hands are far from "tough", but there's no soreness/abrasion of any kind. They use 90 degrees points, rather than the typical 60, so it doesn't bite as much, but still provides plenty of grip. Shredder grips are awesome as well

From the wear at the muzzle end of the barrel it looks like the barrel may be tapered so it "locks" into the bushing when the slide is fully forward.

Yes, it has very (very) slight taper at the front of the muzzle.

Congrats! That's one clean looking pistol. Looks like it was a safe queen.
