Drop-in conversion system replaces the top end of your Glock 20/21 pistol and converts it to fire the hard-hitting, yet controllable, 50 GI cartridge. Developed by Guncrafter, the 50 GI’s head is the same diameter as a .45 ACP, so the rest of your pistol remains stock, allowing easy conversion back to the original caliber. 50 GI ammo can be loaded to drive a 185 grain bullet at 1,200fps, with a felt recoil similar to 230 grain .45 ACP ball ammo. Delivers greater knock-down power, while remaining controllable during rapid fire. Conversion unit comes fully assembled with 4½" stainless steel barrel, firing pin, and guide rod with captive recoil spring. Slide and barrel are precision machined from stainless steel forgings to the same exacting tolerances as the original factory components. Non-reflective, matte finish is durable and good-looking. Black polymer fixed sights with easy to acquire white dot on front sight and U-shaped white outline around rear sight notch. The SF-style magazine uses a modified .45 ACP follower and has an extended base pad that allows it to hold 9 rounds; convenient witness holes at the rear. Fits standard mag pouches for .45 caliber Glock mags. Cut for SF-style magazine catch. Additional magazines available separately.

My Glock 20 (10mm) drives a 200gr to 220gr bullet at a muzzle velocity of 1200-1250 fps and a muzzle energy of 700 lbs. The 50 GI fatboy hits at maybe 600 lbs. Besides paying way too much for ammo if you can find it what's the advantage here?
Like 99% of the other overpriced unneeded gimmicks in this industry, NOTHING. It's just another proverbial pissing match over more useless garbage that makes absolutely no difference what so ever.
Supposedly it gives 45 power with follow up shots comparable to 9 mil from what ive read/gathered but i have not shot one and wont until its cheaper if ever
9mm is already available (and has been for quite a while) at .45 +p energy levels in the 450-500 ft. Lbs area..
This round sounds silly, just taking advantage of people that see the .50 designation and think they have something special.
.45 Super shares more commonality, is more powerful, more available, and cheaper to convert to.
.460 Rowland takes it to another level if you do please.
460 Rowland seems like a much cooler round to me. 50GI is just really slow. If you want a cheaper option you could always get an XD45 tactical ($450) and then buy the Rowland conversion ($350) for it.
Or, just get a 10mm!
