A friend and I built a 450BM pistol several years ago. The only limiting factor of the pistol is the brace. When you load up hard and shoot heavy bullets, its got a little sting. Personally, I think you'd love a 16" 450 even though you're a hardcore pistol shootin' misfit. The ammo that was released was far far beneath what bushmaster successfully tested and intended for the cartridge. Do some quick googling for load data and you'll be surprised at what folks have done. However the 450 is plenty impressive as it is and comfortable to shoot with the pistol brace with standard ammo.

Some initial success. Black hunting, fun, rifle - WB, 2019-12-08, 19:54
