CanyonMan 06-19-2008, 15:26 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). ;) CM HAVOC 06-19-2008, 15:49 12 gauge. N4tbg 06-19-2008, 16:01 Single shot pistol. Hmm. .45 ACP 230 gr JHP out of a 1911. :whistling: Punkkin 06-19-2008, 16:13 .50 bmg gary newport 06-19-2008, 16:36 Single shot pistol.

Pat That could work.... :wow: D-GLOCK17 06-20-2008, 01:01 Probably . 44 magnum...or hard cast slugs for bone crushing organ splattering capability. Onkel Walther 06-20-2008, 14:36 .44 Magnum Gold Dot 240 grs. Joeywhat 06-20-2008, 15:26 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. 454ThunderGod 06-20-2008, 15:42 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. 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? marcoh 06-20-2008, 17:32 If I only had one firearm and it was a single-shot pistol, I'd think the S had already HTF. vetteman 06-20-2008, 19:20 Another vote here for 44 magnum. :cool: MOHAA Player 06-20-2008, 20:13 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 06-20-2008, 20:17 38-55 BigFameOne 06-20-2008, 20:33 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. vafish 06-20-2008, 20:52 .308 TC Encore. Then I'd pick off the SOB that only let me have a single shot pistol. crash_gsxr750 06-20-2008, 21:09 12ga or 500SW jjb 06-20-2008, 21:55 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. magiaaron 06-21-2008, 01:09 .308 TC Encore. Then I'd pick off the SOB that only let me have a single shot pistol. Honestly, that was EXACTLY what I was going to say and I was hoping that nobody else beat me to it, but... you did! :) -magiaaron Rabbit Creek 06-21-2008, 01:23 Popgun pistol calibers, not! Gimmie a .308 Winchester in a survival mode, if I can reload a .300WSM mitchshrader 06-21-2008, 02:34 Thompson Contender 15" Bbl .35 Remington..with a spare barrel in .357 mag. deadday 06-21-2008, 04:30 I'd go with a 20mm....dream big guys :grin: drew d3athp3nguin 06-21-2008, 07:15 Flare gun. magiaaron 06-22-2008, 03:52 I'd go with a 20mm....dream big guys :grin: drew 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. ;) -magiaaron Sniperfox 06-22-2008, 05:14 .357 Magnum. That would allow the use of .38 Spl also. vBulletin® v3.7.3, Copyright ©2000-2008, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. | ![]() |
