1911 chambered in .50 GI

.50 GI 1911

Does anyone have one, shot one, or know where to get just an upper without buying a $3000 1911?

Ive seen conversion kits for the glock21 all over, just no 1911.

I think it would be cool just not practical, you know....busting it out when all of your friends are bragging about their "cool" toy.

From my understanding it isn't a standard dimension frame.

I passed on the 1911 option -

Although they do offer a .45 slide to go with the .50GI setup.

I enjoy my "G50" -

The tolerances are much more precise than the factory slides -

So my groups are tighter with the larger round.

I added a mag extension for 10 rounds of 300gr hollow points moving at 1027 ftsec...



The case is slightly wider than a .45ACP -

.05 wider to be exact -

And obviously holds more powder if you're reloading.

Some guys are pushing 250gr over 1300ftsec....

That's gonna leave a mark!

I've come across the odd .50 GI casing while policing my brass. Attsa nice...
