how much are these to purchase and how hard is it to get them?

Those are real perty...I want a set.

[kab69440]

The Mark 19 set with the 3 different calibre barrel and magazine used to run about $2300. If you want a set, just walk in to a gun shop with the cash and order it. Most shops around here have at least 1 .50AE in stock. The blue version is around $800, on average.

[Mopar440+6]

The ones I've seen around here run about $950 - $1550 each. And in most states you must be 21 and have your Concealed Weapons Permit/Concealed Handgun License. Usually there is a 3 day - 1 week waiting period, longer if they have to order the gun.

About the guns themselves, they're insanely fun to shoot but if you havent got a damn good grip on it youre going to be in serious pain. The recoil on a .50 cal AE can easily break your wrist. Also they are not a good concealed carry handgun IMO because of their size and weight...

FYI: Punk lives in Canada... not sure if toy guns are even legal there.

You cant move them across the border I know that. If you want one then go to your local gun store and inquire about them. You must have your FAC (it's called something different now). I'm not sure about purchasing it in Canada but I know that it must have a trigger guard and locked in a handgun case with the clip and the ammo in a seperate case. You can then ONLY take it out AT the gun range. When it's in it's box and in your vehicle you must go TO and FROM the gun range WITHOUT making ANY stops unless you absolutely, such as getting gas.

Ohhhh C A N A D A......everybody now...

Seriously though, if the tree huggers and anti gun activists had it their way, none of us could even look at a gun and our children would wonder what a gun was just like they have no idea what a record is.

For you guys these might as well be made of solid gold and have diamond encrusted grips. Because no amount of money is going to be enough for you Canadians to buy a hand gun legitimately.

You can only look across the border and sigh at our second amendment right...................

We can buy any handgun we want here in Canada as long as it's not that full auto one. The problem is we just can't take it out of it's locked box lol!

[andy74]

id spend the money on charger stuff instead,more  fun to use in my opinion

[Charger Aficionado]

   I think the .50 AE is overkill...   So impractical...   I would drop the money on a .44 anyday...   Ammo has to be half the price too...   Plus that Huge .50 slug has gotta tumble pretty easily...   I'd rather have the .44 in brush or in any terrain...

.44 I shot was DAMN fun to shoot.  Not much recoil at all...  the .50 on the other hand...  I saw a Sheriff deputy shoot once and I was watching him, he forgot to put his hearing protection on at the range, and about DROPPED the gun... It was hillarious...

Full auto? you mean machine gun? thats what a full auto is.......... and we can't buy them here either unless you get a spacial license..... or do you mean single action double action in is only legal in Canada and not automatic? this is intersting.......................been awhile of gun action terminology's, might be wrong..

[Shakey]

We don't really need guns up here, except rifles for hunting.

[Drache]

Full Auto: Just hold the trigger and the bullets will keep firing in you run out or let go of the trigger. Those are illegal in Canada.

Secondly you can't even use a handgun for hunting up here so really they aren't of any use.

[253862656971]

I've never shot a .50 caliber handgun before.  I'd like to try it though.  I have a S&W 629 .44 mag.  My cousin has a Taurus .357 mag.  We were going to have a contest next year to see who could fill their deer tag first using just the handgun and iron sights.  He blew it this year though.  We were out picking up some deer the group shot earlier and saw a buck about 75 yards away.  He said I wonder if I can hit that.  He aimed at it's head and hit it in the neck.  It dropped like a rock. 

Oh about the Canada thing.  Stupid laws are made to be broken.  Here you have to be 21 to own a handgun.  I'm 19 and yes I bought the gun.  I also have a concealed carry permit.  According to the feds I can't have the gun but according to the state I can have a concealed carry permit.  It's the most idiotic law I've ever heard of.

[moparguy01]

those pistols are a waste if you ask me. The only thing they are good for is target shooting. Far too bulky and heavy for concealed carry, no matter what you see in the movies. and as far as getting them in canada. good luck.

[Lowprofile]

One of the Govenators favorite weapons. 

[Wakko]

I agree with moparguy...they're kinda a waste.  I'd much rather have my HK or a Kimber 1911...Mmmmm......

[Chargerguy74]

I have to laugh when I here you can't get stuff like that in Canada. #1 yes you can. #2 it is very easy #3 you CAN get it walked across the border #4 It would be restricted to a 10 mile radius of where it is registered, to take it beyond that you need permission #5 handguns are not just for hunting...still useful up here #6 we can buy stuff here that is illegal in the states.....like the sks rifles that accept Ak-47 mags.

Also the FAC is called a PAL (there is also a POL)

[Shakey]

#6 we can buy stuff here that is illegal in the states....

Yeah, like reasonably priced medication! 

[Shakey]

#4 It would be restricted to a 10 mile radius of where it is registered, to take it beyond that you need permission

Don't you mean km's? 

[Shakey]

#5 handguns are not just for hunting...still useful up here

And my last question;

What would you need these for up here?

[Lowprofile]

These are my favorite handguns. I wish I could get home more to use them

And my last question;

Guns are not just for hunting. There are a lot of sporting events up here too, competitions, etc. Also, there are a lot of farm robberies around my area. Although I welcome any thieves to come into my yard in the night, I'd advise against it unless you could out run 2400fps.  I could care less if they are actually usefull or not, or if I needed any or not, but it's my right to be able to own one, whether I choose to or not.

Shakey, were you one of the guys to support the gun registry and in fear register all your firearms before the deadline? Just curious.

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

anyone see xXx the movie with vin diesel? most of you obviously did but is the hand gun he carries a real gun or just some movie prop make-believe gun???-MATT

Farm robberies?   What area of Canada do you live in?   What exactly is being stolen during these numerous farm robberies in your area?   Never questioned anyones right to own a handgun, I am just curious as to why anyone would need one!   

If you are a Canadian, which I am assuming you are, then you must be well aware of our justice system.   I highly suggest that if there are any thieves in your yard at night you DO NOT SHOOT THEM as it will be you that will end up behind bars, you should know this.

As far as supporting the gun registry - never paid any attention as I don't own a gun and never will!

As per my original question - there is a difference between need and want!

[69_500]

I don't mind shooting a .50 cal pistol. However I prefer my Century Manufacturing .50/.110 6 shot revovler. If someone decided to break into my house, I don't have to load the gun. Just point it in their direction.

[mally69]

i bought a S&W 460 mag   fires a 200gr bullet @ 2300 fps. thats extremly fast for a revolver and that is a handfull not even a comparision to the .50AE  my friend has one they seem clumbsy not near as much crap as the 460  now the 500 S&W mag thats a bit different almost as much recoil as the 460  but the 500 isnt as fast neither     i vote for the 460    you can shoot 45 long colt  454 casull and the 460 mag ammo out of it  so its very versitile
