Anyone running one of the new EAA/Girsan 6-inch Hunters?

Just curious about reliability and accuracy.

I am not.  So this is just internet opinion.

I looked for pricing and ended up on Sportsmans Warehouse website

In stock they have the Girsan for $650 and the Rock Island for $1000.  The Rock has a longer rail and a better name/history in the 1911 game.  Then I noticed the fit of the beavertail to the frame.  Rock Island is clean.  Girsan has a gap you could drive a truck through.

The Girsan may be accurate and reliable.  But I would try to find the extra $350 to get the Rock if it were joining my collection.

I know this thread is a little old but I bought one of the Girsan 6" hunters. It shoots great. It needs a better front sight but other than that,  I can't find a flaw. It was $669 at my lgs. Fit and finish is top notch on mine.

Lots of nice weapons coming out of Turkey these days

All the Girsans that I have seen were seemingly well made. Dry firing has been a pleasant experience. No slop that would cause me concern.

BillinOregon, did you ever go through with the Girsan?

My experience with the hunter was terrible.
