Model 5

The Model 5 is our Concealed Carry Option chambered in 50 GI. It has an Officer-size frame, a 4.25″ slide and a round butt, so it carries a half-inch bullet in the smallest package we build. At 33 ounces, it's the lightest, most concealable all-steel pistol in the Guncrafter 1911 lineup.

The grip, not the slide, is what gives a carry gun away. That's why the Model 5 pairs a Commander-length slide with a shorter Officer-size frame. The 4.25″ slide keeps a useful sight radius and enough barrel for the .50 GI to perform. The short grip keeps the pistol hidden under a T-shirt or an untucked shirt.

A round butt comes standard. It takes the hard corner off the bottom of the grip, where most printing starts, so the pistol disappears against the body. Thin black Alumagrips cut the width further without costing you a secure hold.

The .50 GI runs at moderate pressure, and its recoil feels far closer to a .45 ACP than its size suggests. The heavy match-grade barrel and forged steel frame and slide keep the Model 5 manageable. Follow-up shots stay fast, and you have the confidence to use the pistol when it counts.

The 15 LPI x 90° checkering on the front strap and mainspring housing locks the short grip into your hand from the first touch. GI tritium sights stay visible in the dark, and the beveled magazine well guides fast reloads under stress. A full dehorn takes every sharp edge off the pistol, so it won't bite your hands, your clothing or your holster.

The frame and slide are forged steel. The hammer, sear and disconnector are fully machined from tool steel, and the slide stop is cut from bar stock. Every Model 5 goes through our extreme reliability work, ships with two fitted and tuned magazines and is finished in black Nitride to stand up to daily carry. It's built by hand, and it's built to disappear until it's needed.
