The ‘1911 on steroids’ is chambered in the monstrous .45 Winchester Magnum

Meet the LAR Grizzly Winchester Magnum, a 1911 on steroids.

The LAR Grizzly is built for hunting, competing, or just making your hands feel numb. The oversized .45 Winchester Magnum is great for dropping big game or pieces of steel from 200 yards.

The .45 Win Magnum looks like a lengthened .45 ACP delivering more than twice the pressure and a significant improvement in ballistics.

Only a few thousand of these weapons were made in the mid 1980s and mid 1990s, but they’re still around albeit hard to find.

Mechanically, the Grizzly is almost identical to the 1911 and many parts are interchangeable, which is great for anyone who owns one of these unicorns.

Take a closer look at this rare weapon in the video below.
