11 cents a round with bulk surplus, and the muzzle flash and bang make it more badass. CZ52 is awesome, but so is 1911, and why not own both some day? Justgeta rock island and this barrel.

That's only the corrosive stuff. Non corrosive is about $18.00 for box of 50 vs $12.00 for 9mm.

Apparently during Vietnam, NVA built 7.62 Tokarev 1911 barrels and magazines so they could use their 7.62 Tokarev rounds after capturing 1911 pistols from dead GIs. I saw one of the barrels for sale on GunBroker a long time ago.

As for actually buying and using one of these in a 1911, I could pay about the same amount (18 dollars, forget corrosive surplus ammo) for, oh, I don't know, .45 ACP maybe? Not to mention I can also use the money on the kit to buy said ammo. Like they say in the description, it falls into the "play" category, and the playing, when you think about it, doesn't make sense unless you are solely going for cool points. Kinda like skateboarding versus bike riding, the former (skateboarding; 7.62 Tok) maybe be seen as cool, but it's flashier than anything else, while the latter (bike riding; .45 ACP) is just as if not more convenient, less ridiculous, and better and more practical for one in a lot of ways.
