Thanks again Mike, you're the man with the answers! I saw on that link that the pistol must be ported, so I guess it's a committed conversion... Unlike the 50GI conversion, which allows you to go back and forth between 45 and 50 simply by swapping out the barrel/spring etc...

I saw that conversion kit too, but according to this link the 50GI doesn't really offer anything more than a 45, other than greater bullet diameter. It seems to really increase absolute power, the 45 Super is the ticket....

My Google-Fu is strong.

Correction: After reading ACE's FAQ (what a concept..) I see that a converted pistol can fire 45 Super or 45 ACP rounds with nothing to switch/change, making it even more versatile (and more powerful) than the 50GI conversion.

I want a XD50GI Super!!!

Never mind, I'll just buy a .50AE Desert Eagle....

Well, Ace Custom isn't responding to my voicemail. But I'm wondering about their "Glock Super 45conversion kit". It seems there's a few unnecessary items in there, plus it requires some kind of porting by another company, with no link to that company...? There must be an easier way...

That was just the first thing that popped up when I Googled "Glock 21 .45 Super conversion." I'm sure there are others.

There aren't actually, as Ace has the patent of "45 Super". But what I've since learned (practicing Google-Fu) is that all that is required is a stiffer recoil spring. Porting is mentioned a couple places but not required... And Buffalo Bore manufactures 45 Super ammo, so that what I'll do for the times I backpack into black bear territory...

Correct, just get a stiffer recoil spring.
