A .50 Caliber 1911: Guncrafter Industries Model 1
The Guncrafter Industries Model 1 is a custom 1911 chambered in the proprietary .50 GI caliber, designed to offer increased bore diameter without significantly altering recoil or handling compared to a .45 ACP. Founded by Alex Zimmerman, the company offers various models, with the Model 1 being the standard configuration. The .50 GI utilizes a rebated rim for compatibility with .45 ACP slides and features a bushingless barrel and solid guide rod, reflecting its custom, high-end nature with a substantial lead time.
