.50 GI Ammo Prices

Guncrafter Industries built this in 2004 to put a genuine half-inch bullet into a 1911-size pistol using a rebated rim to make it fit the .45-scale breech face. It throws a big slow subsonic bullet with real presence and it lives entirely in the world of custom 1911s built specifically for it. Exotic expensive and thoroughly cool for the person who wanted a fifty-caliber sidearm.

Factory ammunition comes essentially from one source and stays pricey and scarce. This is a deliberate niche purchase. The small crowd with guns for it buys whenever it appears and does not blink at the cost.
