Anyone have one? Any experience with one? It’s next one the list for the 50 collection.

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 will be going the Glock route. I want one but I don’t want one $6k bad.

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
