This pistol was been designed around the very powerful .45 Winchester Magnum. Standard Grizzly mark I pistols were sold in .45 Win Mag chambering, but patented factory conversion kits were available for calibers, including .45ACP, 10mm Auto, .357 Magnum and several others. Later on, LAR manufacturing also introduced two slightly enlarged version of the Grizzly, known as Mark IV and Mark V. Mark IV pistols were chambered for popular .44 Magnum revolver round; Mark V were chambered for very powerful .50AE ammunition. However, for various reasons manufacture of Grizzly pistols however, L.A.R. Manufacturing Inc is still in business and still offers spare parts and service for Grizzly Win Mag pistols.
