Ultimate Hand-gun collection - one for every caliber

[HK45auto]

I know I've seen a 45-70 handgun somewhere. Just can't remember who made it.

I would have no desire to fire such a monstrosity.

Well.... maybe once.

The same folks who make the Desert Eagle make it!

Magnum Research (Kahr Arms) makes one:

You want to fire a monstrosity? Try the Zeliska Revolver, in .600 Nitro mag


(I'm not adding that to the list)

No one.....especially not 6 posts above yours.

Sweet Jesus, 7 pages and I have to be the first to point out that you are asking about "Cartridges" or "Chamberings" NOT Calibres!!

Calibre is a bore measurement - 45ACP, 45GAP, 45 Colt, 454 Casull and 460 S&W are all "45 Calibre" handguns, but they are all different cartridges.

One is being mentioned in the EE, as we write even!

Sheesh, here I thought I had read most of the posts, apparently not.

.25ACP - prohib
.38ACP - not around anymore
.38S&W - too rare
.30 Luger - added
7.65x25 - already on the list
.30 Mauser - added

Thanks

38S&W is more common than 30 Mauser or Luger. Piles of enfield and Webley revolvers out there.

And modern guns are being made in .380. Many just happen to be prohib up here.

.32 ACP *Skorpion, technically a "rifle"

.380 ACP (9x17mm Browning)

.38 Super (9x23 +P)

.357 SIG

.357 S&W Mag (9x33 R)

.38 Spec. (9x29.5mm R)

5.7x28mm *FN

.30 Luger

.30 Mauser

So far, there's 30 different calibers requiring at least 24 guns. Anyone here have any thoughts on this? Any calibers that could be added? Any removed?

Let me know what you think!

Also, if you like, list which gun you would choose for each caliber as you preference/first choice. (I'm still working on that)



*edit: list has grown to 37 calibers!

You'll need a .32-20, a .475 Linebaugh, and a .500 Wyoming, shouldn't be much more than $3K each.
