(personally I think the 2nd amendment should cover any "arms" despite size, type or style, and since it incorporates "militia" anything used by the military should also be available to civilians, but that's another subject) Muzzleloaders are exempt from most Federal Firearms Laws and can be had in larger calibers, .54 and .58 for example.

With the 1-4 power scope on it I never have problem watching the target during recoil. It seems now when going to the range I shoot the GI more then any of my AR's.

Assuming the .45ACP is a good self-defense caliber a bigger bullet should be even more effective, right? And as long as it fits in a single stack pistol magazine I don't see why not. Is larger than 50 caliber weapons legal in the US? I think there is some upper limit for rifles at .50 (BMG). Does this apply to handguns? What’s wrong with the .50GI as a pistol caliber?

I would buy one. This would make an excellent SBR PDW. Finally, a practical use for the .50 GI. I would buy one. This would make an excellent SBR PDW.
