having a 45 ACP conversion for that 50 GI is the cat’s meow! Nice!

That's a real clean gun. I like the minimal roll marks on the slide.

Something else for me to lust after!

It sure is interesting. Now, I know WHY it failed. I know you could get one in it. But I am a little sad that something like .45GAP didn't do a little better in the market. A big ole .50 at about .45acp velocities is sure one heck of an argument to make.

Yet, I wouldn't mind a .45 230gr at more like 1050fps...IMHO, that's the kind of argument to make with a bear.

Zzzzz_man, beautiful pics, beautiful guns. Really looking forward to your update of how the 50 GI handloads shoot for you.

Its called 45 Super. And you can get more out of it. Any 45 ACP chambered pistol with decent case support, spring changes, and using Super brass will handle the pressures. A square bottom firing pin stop available for the 1911 is suggested.

A comp also helps a lot with timing and recoil. It'll take some burden off the recoil spring.

Now that zzz has laid the groundwork. We are the local Guncrafter dealer. Who is ready to order their custom?

Thanks! I’ll look in to it!
