Glock 20/21 in .50GI

.50 Glock | The Firearm Blog

Thought I would share.

I thought this is pretty nifty.

The conversion kit costs just as much as a new glock though.

Seems like it's just a novelty thing...that round looks completely useless.

I can't think of any bullet as being useless for protection; sport shooting maybe.

useless in the sense that there are other cartridges available that are cheaper, and either do more or just a tad less damage. I can't imagine it being much better then .45 ACP.

If it happened to be the only gun you had, and you weren't able to buy anything else...sure, it would be sufficient.

I'm a 45acp guy...and I agree with him in general, just not with the term "useless."

I would change "useless" to "pointless"

It may be pointless but in a given situation prove to be very useful.

/also .45ACP guy.

I've always kinda wanted to mess around with the .50 GI, and until now, the only way of doing that was a $3000 Guncrafter 1911. I'd love one of these... I may have to go find me a used G21.

I was lucky enough to shoot one of those 1911's. Pretty cool. VERY well put together. The kick felt like a hot .45.
