Sometimes, bigger holes are better.

Picked up my 50GI “glock” slide around 1600L today. 600$ + tax poorer .......took it home , pulled the slide off my glock 21 and replaced it with the GI Slide. Easy , perfect fit and dry fired a few times.

Magazines are the 9 rounders. So 9+1 in the chamber capacity. Disassembled the entire slide and degreased, inspected, basically a glock in every detail, only for launching a bigger pumpkin ! Personal recipe of krytox and militec applied wiped down and then added to key wear surfaces. Not sure who applied the finish on the slide or what it is but flat silver grey finish that resembles the tenifer texture. Bold letters down left hand side of the slide “GUNCRAFTERS INDUSTRIES”........Barrel is marked with caliber as are all glock barrels and says “50 GI”......

Here are most accurate pic’s at some links.

.... Only thing I note “different” aside from larger bore is that this pig is heavy. Lot heavier than the Glock 21 or Glock 20 fully loaded. Magazine base uses an allen head screw for retention. Markings say “SUPER2” with “10MM/.45ACP” on base extension. Back of magazine is marked “50 GI” and “Made in USA” full length of mag has the words “guncrafters industries” and the mag appears to be a Glock 21 design as it has same 11 holes as my mags for the 45 auto version.

I have a supply of 300gr Ball and 275gr JHP’s and will hit the range in a few days and let ya know how it performs.

Stay safe....
