+1. What would you use it for? AFAIK, it's not really much more suited to hunting than .45ACP (unlike .50AE). More suited to self-defense? Not really. Target shooting? Doubtful.

Is it suited to making you spend your money on a conversion kit and then spend more and more money on a caliber that you'll never see in a gun store? Yep.

Any types of bells of whistles you want to put on a stock Glock will allow it to function 92.1% of the time.

I have a 9mm conversion barrel on my G35 and it's had some issues, stove pipes and other failures to extract. Some say I'm that 1% of Glock owners that have issues with this type of conversion. But I'm a believer on stock guns.

If you want a .50 cal, get a S&W wheel gun.

460 Rowland

Kinda off-topic from the OP, but...what about a 460 Rowland for a 1911?

[slowfire]

can the internals take the pressure?

[M. Sage]

Conversion kit should be a different barrel, probably barrel and slide. Nothing else you need to worry about the pressure.

I doubt the pressures are much higher than .45 ACP. The recoil, on the other hand...

Yep it's a waste of money. It's really 49 cal. you have to buy thier ammo, dies and brass. The kit cost is near $600.00 for the slide and barrel and magazine. About the cost of the complete Glock gun.
But if you want to fill the large bore Jones. With this hand cannon in the Glock name, get on the waiting list for the kit. And the frame is not as large as the Deagle, which could be easier to one hand, with the right grip. It would be a blast.

The .50 GI really isn't a good round. I don't have the data on hand but you can do a simple wiki search, the .50 GI has less force than both .357sig and 10mm. Why spend about $600 and getting a gun that is less powerful than g32, g20 and less reliable than any glock. Plus their ammo and mag are sure pricey. Take that money and buy another glock or save a bit more and buy a real .50 AE Desert Eagle.

lol, and you thought stock Glocks kB'd...
