Ok, I'd never heard of it til you brought it up and now google is a bit tied up... color me interested.

What are you thinking, Glock or 1911?

I think it’s a cool project, and aside from what I read back in some gun rags back when it came out. I know nothing about it.

Looking forward to what you learn :)

I mean, the 230 grain version ain’t a ton faster than Gods Cartridge.
Not seeing the point of this one I guess. You can load heavier bullets of course, but…

The point is it’s part of my .50 cal collection nothing more. It’s a fun interesting gun in .50cal end of story.

Yep. Hell I’m interested just because I’ve never heard of one and it’s a great comeback to the old age question.

Why a .45?
‘Cause they don’t make a .46.
Well the make a .50! 😎

Seems very Thompson/LaGarde.

Probably a good mover of bowling pins. . . if bowling pins offend you.

Any one got a line on a cheap Glock 20/21-40/41 frame? I know I’ve seen some aftermarket clones.

$850 for just the upper half of a Glock + call it $400 after shipping and transfer fees for a used "donor" G21

While it interested me... not nearly $1300 worth of interested


FYI, you can get new Glock in 50GI from Guncrafters for $1245
