So who has a 50 cal glock?

Thinking of buying a 50 caliber Glock. Anyone have one?

Not me. I've shot a Desert Eagle 50 and a 50 revolver though. Putting a mag and cylinder of rounds downrange in a few minutes was enough to make my hand ache.

The 50 cal conversion for the glock is 50 GI a proprietary cartridge made by Guncrafter Industries for a custom 1911. They have since come out with a quick conversion slide kit. The 50GI is a low pressure cartridge.

Let's compare 50 cal to 9mm. The 500 S&W would be a 357 magnum, the 50 AE would be 9x19mm, and 50 GI woudl be 380 acp. Felt recoil of 50GI is identical to 45 acp.

How much is the ammo?

Looks like between $1-$2 a round for factory loaded. In reloads it is only $1 more per 100 rounds than 45 acp.

Compare to 500 S&W at up to $6 per round...
