This is only one of a bunch of videos I have been taking of the progress of a handgun build I am doing. I uploaded it to youtube for novelty reasons. Sharing it here for the same reason; something fun to talk about.
As mentioned in the description, the problem with the bullets tilting downwards was fixed since the video was taken. Mag tube just needed to be bent inward a little at the front.

The ammo capacity is not as much greater in double column compared to single column due to the size of the cartridges. Generally, on normal magazine length, you'll be able to get 6-7 rounds in to a .50AE handgun in a single column magazine. Being that we are talking about half inch bullets, one extra round alone is an accomplishment, and we're looking at 10 rounds once the final magazine adaptation is complete. The magazine is the same basic width as the Para Ordnance P-14 magazines and a little taller then Desert Eagle mags.
The gun it goes to is a recoil operated handgun that is almost 2 inches shorter then the Desert Eagle and as much as a pound lighter. Mechanically, it is very close to the Beretta M-9 but it has a bunch of additional bells and whistles and the trigger it's self, even though double-action, is closer to that on the 1911A1. Though the handle is not yet complete, it looks very promising that it'll be the same width (side to side) as the Desert Eagle handle but just a little shorter (front to back. The small handle size despite the larger magazine is due to the mainspring being in an "out of the way" location, thinner metal on the handle (comparable to that on the Makarov) and thinner grips.
