If you had only a single shot pistol....

[chewybaca67]

If you had only a single shot pistol, for whaever Sci-Fi, or horror, socio-political reasons, what caliber would you choose? Guess I'd go with big n' fat, 45 Colt 255 grain Gold Dot Boolit.

Depends on what I wanted to do with it... maybe a TC in 30-06??

I'm not sure if this is end of world survial stuff or what..... but I "do know," that for over 30+ years, 45LC has taken down everything I need it to.

Ruger 45LC 300gr. hard cast, 21.0/22.0grs H110. I would use it on any contenent, and not worry about it. It has take everything up to and including elephant. (The last one I did not take). ;)

Single shot pistol. Hmm. .45 ACP 230 gr JHP out of a 1911. :whistling:

That could work.... :wow:

[D-GLOCK17]

Probably . 44 magnum...or hard cast slugs for bone crushing organ splattering capability.

[Onkel Walther]

.44 Magnum Gold Dot 240 grs.

[Joeywhat]

Do they make a 4 bore handgun?

Sure, it'd probably break your arm, hand and possibly your face...but at least whatever you hit will probably be in two pieces.

Do whhhaaaaatt?

Guess Im not familiar with the idea of the purchase/usage of a firearm for SciFi/Horror/socio-political reasons.

Is this another one of those zombie-threads?

If I only had one firearm and it was a single-shot pistol, I'd think the S had already HTF.

[vetteman]

Another vote here for 44 magnum. :cool:

[MOHAA Player]

44 magnum out of a Ruger Super Black Hawk or a Kel-Tec P3AT loaded with one of those fang faced Extreme Shok rounds:whistling:

[390ish]

38-55

a .22 LR cause I figure when the Zombies attack my being able to kill one of them with a big gun does really nothing for me, but shooting one and causing him one hell of an irritating flesh wound that he will whine about to his Zombie friends is something I can take with me to my grave.

.308 TC Encore.

Then I'd pick off the SOB that only let me have a single shot pistol.

[crash_gsxr750]

12ga or 500SW

I have a LAR Grizzley in 45 Win Mag--What a hole, I shot through 6 wet phone books with this caliber. Total thickness of 21 inches. Only thing better that I tested was three feet of wet phone books with the Ruger number 1 in 45-70.

Honestly, that was EXACTLY what I was going to say and I was hoping that nobody else beat me to it, but... you did! :)

Popgun pistol calibers, not!

Gimmie a .308 Winchester in a survival mode, if I can reload a .300WSM

[mitchshrader]

Thompson Contender 15" Bbl .35 Remington..with a spare barrel in .357 mag.

[deadday]

I'd go with a 20mm....dream big guys :grin:

That's what I carried back in the day, but I haven't been in the gym enough now, and I have a difficult time with follow up shots when you start talking about any pistol chambered in something more powerful than .50 BMG. Then again, if it's just a single shot, that wouldn't matter. I could probably manage it in single shot. ;)

[Sniperfox]

.357 Magnum. That would allow the use of .38 Spl also.
