Bushmaster is supposed to be coming out with a new .45 Bushmaster caliber in 2007. It is to compete with the .50 Beowulf entry weapon.

The 9th picture down in Tangochasers post is my LaFrance .45acp. It runs flawlessly. So yes they do exist and do work very well.

There are three things that limit what is possible, Time, Drive, and Money.

Pinkerton OUT!

That would be the 458 Socom.

And since I held on to this with my own two hands at the SAR show, I would have to say it's just about done...
