.50 Cal Glock - The title makes it sound like the mad rage of a stupid prohibitionist, but .50 caliber Glocks are a reality. Guncrafter Industries makes conversion slides for the G21 and G41 to take the 50GI cartridge. The slide is a budget alternative to the last $4000 longslide 1911, Model 4. At $595-$660, it gets shooters into the 50GI caliber for slightly less than the 1911 route.
Ten rounds in a slightly full magazine or nine rounds in the same plane, this conversion reduces the capacity for more rounds per shot. The theory behind this round is simple: why spend some of the kinetic energy expanding the projectile when it can fire has been expanded?
.50 Cal Glock
The 50GI is a low-pressure caliber based on the classic .455 Webley model. At the same pressure as the 45ACP, it is easy on the shooter and gives just as fast follow-up shot, something not seen in 50AE or 50S & W. Developing ammunition has a nominal range of 185g at 1200 fps to 275g at 875 fps, and 300g JSP available for practice and animal piercing is difficult. At 700 fps, the 300g load is at the same power level as the 44 Special – a smooth, easy-to-shoot round that can be used quickly for doubles and triples when needed. Develop a bullet optimized for thin-skinned humanoid enemies, and 230-grain makes the hole run deep and almost an inch wide. The light for the 185 gr caliber stops at 9 inches, but makes a wider path. The actual chronographed velocity is very close to the 4.5-inch barrel and higher than the 5-inch to 6-inch barrel.

Full copper projectiles are effective enough to convert velocity into expansion without fragmenting or refolding the petals. Muzzle flash was minimal with all the loads I tried (185, 230, 275 and 300).
As you can see, the grooved rim allows for a 45ACP rear track. Magazines are easy to load with your fingers. Depending on the load, the degree of muzzle flip is minimal or slight, certainly similar to the 45ACP experience. The drawback of the Glock conversion compared to the excellent longslide 1911 is that it is reduced. My 9-shot groups at 10 meters were about 2.25 inches, while the 1911, with a longer sight radius and a longer trigger, printed 7-shot groups in an inch. Again, #4 in long slide, group size at ten yards less than full bullet size! With Glocks, it's not quite as good, although the difference is probably more ergonomic than the mechanics of the device.
Because 50GI ammo is expensive, it is thought that shooters primarily train with the same handling of 45ACP caps and carrying 50GI caps. Given the similarity of the shooting experience between the two calibers and the excellent reliability of the conversion, this is the correct approach. Unlike more energetic cartridges such as the 10mm Auto and 44Mag, the 50GI does not damage the shooter during training and spares unprotected hearing under subsonic loads.
Compared to stock Glock mags, the conversion leaves enough capacity, from 13 + 1 to 8 + 1. Each bullet increases the forehead area by about 22% before and after expansion. The choice is yours. Is it worth taking nine strong shots before reloading, or taking five more shots before a mag switch is needed?

As you can see, a full barrel is available. Although they only add a small amount of speed, twisting the damper is an option. While the 50GI is currently only available from Guncrafter Industries, some handloading recipes allow it to run even less commonly. Fired brass can be used many times.

Don't be intimidated by the thought of a 50 caliber recoiling polymer frame! Since the 50 GI ™ is not part of the magnum family, and because the shot operates at low pressure, you will be surprised at how well controlled a .50 caliber pistol can be.
Just strip the pistol, swap the top end for a .50 GI conversion unit, open the included 9-round magazine, and you're ready to take advantage of the most controllable .50 caliber cartridge available. This barrel has no polygons and is unaffected by lead ammunition.
Make sure you select the necessary Finish and generation options. If you choose a Cerakote finish, choose the stainless steel option. Cerakote is not applied over the melonite. Call for special options.
