LAR Grizzly: A 1911 on .45 Winchester Magnum Steroids

CountryGent · Aug 30, 2017

Back in the day, I remember thinking the Grizzly looked like a fanastic piece. Particularly the later .50AE variant. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. Regardless, Forgotten Weapons has a neat-o video on the earlier .45 Win Mag version, along with some equally ginchy conversion kits. Just passing it along for your viewing enjoyment:

Cheers.

Probably around '97 (that's 1997 NOT 1897!) my uncle, who I never thought of as a handgun guy, mentioned that he was considering one of them. Heard they were a good stopper and he was planning a trip to Alaska. He never did buy one.

Long cartridges work better in a revolver, I believe.
