Ooooo, daddy wants. Glock .50 conversion - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I bet the ballistics suck. I still want one.

It's a nice conversation piece, but I see the .50 GI as a pretty pointless cartridge. ]

I just don't understand it. If you want more bang than a .45 go with a 10mm. If you really want to throw out some power in a semi-auto, get a .50 AE.

Read the first sentence. Looking at the picture, I bet it's a sloooow round. Still be fun to shoot.

I put a few mags though one. Feels about like a 230 +p really.

Weird thing is the case - .50 dia with a 45 rim, so the breechface and extractor aren't changed. Looks really odd.

Meh, real men shoot handloaded hot 10mm. Everything else is for pussies.

stevenpetry · 05-05-2010, 11:10 AM

Ok, so Glocks are having issues firing open breach, so what's gonna happen when the .50 explodes in your hands? And don't say it doesn't happen, a friend on security at JSC had one go up the other day.

The .50 ae has a rebated rim also, but not that severe.

No you want Clarke Custom Guns to make R&D their 460 Rowland for the Glock 21, that would make me go out and buy a G21 today.

HahnsB2 · 05-05-2010, 06:58 PM

I'll stick with 10mm..

FWIW there is a .460 Rowland kit on the market for the XD45 Tactical...

Numidian · 05-05-2010, 08:39 PM

I want S&W to make an M&P10

zukitough · 05-05-2010, 11:32 PM

Small Arms Review did a write up on the Glock Conversion and didn't like it and had problems with the slide I think wearing out a chunk in less than 200 rounds. They just did a review on the .50 version of the 1911 style and gave it a good review.

I'm going to hold out for the 50 GAP
