Massive Stopping Power — The Guncrafter Industries M3 .50GI
https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/rev...)&utm_content=

The .50 GI is designed to be a controllable personal defense handgun with the largest bore diameter available. The .50 GI (Guncrafter Industries) cartridge uses a rebated rim so that it functions within the 1911 .45 standard envelope. It operates at the same power level as the .45 ACP, and therefore at the same level of felt recoil.

Hmmmmmmm....

That is a hunk of steely cool. I have wanted one for a wile now. If I get a good job in ND I might just get one.

Any ballistic gel pictures available? I'd love to compare it to a .45 acp and check penetration. It's still a nice chunk of metal doing 1000fps.

Looks like fun. But I think I would rather have a 10mm.

I'll stick with my .44 wheel guns.

Yep. Your .44 Mag would have a lot more whallop.

Rebated head cartridges are not progressive reloader friendly.

My son bought the Glock upper in the .50 GI. It was fun but the price of ammo was ridiculous (Only available from Guncrafter) and he ended up selling it. Can't attest to longevity cause he didn't have it long enough.

Ballistics are impressive though.

I need to get me a 10 mm.

rogertc1 · 04-17-2013, 05:21 AM

AMMO!!

TheMrMitch · 05-09-2013, 12:27 AM

And how does it compare to the Desert Eagle AE.50....except maybe size and weight?

That came to my mind when I saw the cartridge. It's the reason that the 41 Action Express failed to be a popular round and is now pretty much extinct.
