Probably would. A Glock would be an inexpensive way to get into 50 AE.

 

Well, right now, today, you can go 50 cal with your Glock 20/21. It's called 50GI.

that's not 50 AE that's 50 cal and not the same as what we would want

 

No because I have a 460XVR and can shoot 454 Casull or 460 magnum if I want to shoot super charged loads. The Magnum Research BFR is available in 50 AE with 6.5" or 7.5" barrel lengths that is probably more reliable than a DE based on my experience with a 44 magnum Mk XIX.

 

If I wanted something like that I would probably be looking at a revolver.

 

'Doubtful it would ever be made, and no, I wouldn't buy it. Not only do many people find the grip of the full size Glock pistols to be too large, the length of the 50AE cartridge would cause the front to back dimensions of the grip of the pistol in which it was designed to utilize it to be even greater than what is currently required to house the shorter 10mm cartridge in a G20 frame...

Between my single stack DE Mark VII pistol chambered in .41(/.44) mag and my Mark XIX chambered in .44mag, the XIX model can easily be converted to .50AE with just a barrel and magazine change, with either frame adequately sized to allow the insertion and use of a .50AE magazine. The DE's are of coarse large and heavy pistols which utilize a fixed barrel, which equates to extreme accuracy, along with a gas operated rotating bolt, which makes for a surprizingly light recoil experience when compared to these calibers being fired out of a revolver.

I think it would be totally illogical for Glock to conceive and bring to market a pistol model chambered in .50AE using their current barrel locking and recoil assembly technology housed in their typical polymer frame. It's my belief that doing so would require a totally different operating arrangement, far removed from their current design, and I really doubt that a company who's latest earth shattering upgrades consist of front slide serrations, metal sights, and an extended slide stop lever would undertake the changes required to accommodate the not very widely used .50AE cartridge...

 

Nope.

I use Glocks for good reliable carry/working pistols. If I bought a .50 cal., I would look for something more unique as a specialty gun. Not a plastic one.

 

Stupid question. Stupid thread. Carry on.

 

If they made a .30 Mauser in a 17L, I'd buy one.

If I could get it with a holster/stock and a ladder sight graduated to 1000 yards, even better.

 

No, but I definitely would buy one in .22lr

 

I don't think I would.
I do like hard hitting rounds, but my G20 is enough for me in a semi auto.

Now a 50AE barrel for my Contender might interest me.

 

Nope. I wanted a Desert Eagle, but I knew I didn't want a .50AE, so I bought one in .44 Magnum instead. The .50AE doesn't appeal to me in the least. If I want a .50 caliber firearm, I want it to be a .50BMG. Anything else is just there so that guys can boast about having a "fifty". If Glock made one, it would still be a pointless caliber in my opinion and would defeat the purpose of Glock pistols as solid defensive weapons due to being too huge to carry. Terrible idea I'm afraid.

 

No. I cannot think of a reason to own that caliber.

 

Nor can I; but if I ever wanted a .50 caliber pistol it surely would be a revolver. I can just imagine the horrid recoil a "plastic fantastic" pistol would bring to the table in such a powerful round.

 

Nope...but with no military or LE market for .50AE, I feel safe in saying Glock will never offer a pistol in .50AE...so the question is irrelevant.

 

No.

 

If they did 5.7x28 mm like FN57 i would definitely buy it. Although i did not by an FN57 because i keep asking myself the point of it, if Glock made it I would.

Agreed. No to the 50AE, but a 5.7 would be tempting!

 

As stated, there already is the .50 GI.

I think a Glock in 9x23 would be super cool, and would fit in the existing (large) frame.

 

I've got 2ea LAR Grizzlys in 50AE, 2ea Desert Eagles in 50AE, 1ea AMT Automag V in 50AE, an AR-15 in 50AE and a Freedom Arms Model 83 revolver in 50AE.
But a Glock in 50AE......nope. I don't care for plastic pistols with crap triggers and sights.

Something draws me to the most common calibers, only. For every oddball caliber that I need to mail-order ammo for, there is a common caliber just as good. If I need a big caliber Glock, .45 ACP is common and plentiful.

 

Glock Long slide in .50AE?

Hell Yes!!!!!!!

 

Something draws me to the less common calibers, like 5.7x28 and 50AE. However, I'm not comfortable investing in calibers that currently amount to single pistol platforms. If Glock made a 50, I'd buy one. Would you? View attachment 343636​ No, I would not wnat such a thing, and here's why: The 50AE has an overall length of 1.610 in (40.9 mm), while the 45 ACP has an OAL of 1.275 in (32.4 mm) and the 10mm is somewhat less. But even so, the grip of the G20 and the G21 is so long from front to rear that many people have a problem with the trigger finger reaching the trigger and have to go to either an SF (Short Frame) or a gen 4 with the smallest rear grip insert to be able to comfortably reach the trigger. There would be a similar problem with a Glock in 5.7x 28 which has a cartridge overall length of 1.594 (40.50 mm), but what would work would be to chamber a Glock in 22 TCM which has even better ballistics than a 5.7x28 or to chamber a Glock in 50 GI which doesn't have the magnum ballistics of the 50 AE but would actually fit in the existing grip of the largest Glocks and conversions are currently available for either cartridge and the likelihood of Glock creating a whole new frame size that would be impractical in order to accommodate a cartridge that there's very little demand for is far beyond the realm of actual possibility. About the most powerful cartridge that can be chambered in the existing Glock frame would be the 40 Super which is a slightly shortened 45 Winchester magnum necked down to 10mm.

 

Definitely not. Gimmick cartridge to make up for lacks elsewhere. [emoji851]

If they do, it won't be the G50. I'D buy one still.

 

Hell no, have you shot a 50ae desert eagle, it was unpleasant and that was in a gun a hell of a lot heavier than a glock

I agree with this post…….
I already have some hard recoiling revolvers and a couple of Desert Eagles……. ( which I am enjoying less as I get older)……
Putting a 50AE in a “fairly” light polymer pistol would be unpleasant to shoot.
Nope.

 

no but I'd watch the **** out the hickok45 vid upon it's release.

 

There are already .50AE conversion uppers on the market, they fit the G20/G21/G41 large frame but be prepared to drop $700 on the upper and $60 per mag. I have also not seen spare parts for these, not even recoil springs. Total cost would be a stupid amount for a Glock, $1,400 or more (though you could in theory sell the old upper and mags off online to mitigate cost but it would still be plenty dumb). Would make more sense to just get a Desert Eagle in .50AE. Who knows how long the Glock frame would last as a .50AE.
