Impractical pistols

[choices and consequences]

Maybe a longslide 45 would fit the bill.This is my Springfield V-16, set up to shoot .45 Super when want a little extra pop but also handles .45 acp fine. Not sure who still offers longslide 1911's but hopefully there is something out there. You could also go with the 50GI in a Glock.

What about a bolt action pistol? They come in some pretty crazy calibers.

i got my desert eagle 357 and getting my smith 500 on monday. Also did the whole ar pistol thing only because I got a free sig arm brace and needed a reason to build it.

MAC series clones? 10mm 1911s are pretty ridiculous.

I think I would have to go .50 AE DE for first recommendation. However, their lifespan isn't so great so I have heard.

A huge 6' 44 mag would be pretty awesome.

A 6 foot 44 mag would be awesome

Some suggestions:
1) Find a used 44 Auto mag
2) Buy/Convert 1911 to 460 Rowland, add compensator (Still shoots 45 ACP and 45 Super)
3) Mare's Leg.

What you described is what I call a BBQ gun!

6" colt python
Ruger Vaquero Montado in 45 LC
Desert Eagle in 50 AE
S&W 500
That sort of thing!

Get an NAA revolver. Accurate to about 4"

Impractical? Any revolver.

the revolver is so practical that it reigned as king in the law enforcement community until the late 1980s. ironically, the revolver was replaced by the semi-auto in said community because the revolver was practical, and 'practical' alone was not considered to be 'enough' in a duty handgun to meet and fulfill the changing needs of law enforcement; the need for a handgun with more firepower and faster reloading potential became paramount. still, in some defensive duty applications the revolver arguably still reigns supreme.

Ironically it reigned king until there was a real shootout in the 80's. I can personally think of no practical area a revolver still reigns supreme in terms of a handgun in any defensive situation. The only area anyone can possibly make an argument would be in magnum calibers though in those instances you'd be better off carrying a rifle at all times anyways.

My vote would be a revolver or a 1911.

It was the Great Condunian Tribes in St. Antienne of the South Congo that developed the word "Impractical" from a homologated marriage of the words "Impotent" with "Errr...??" and "Tactical" introduced to them by early English Empire explorers.

They soon realized that by calling their tactical rocks "impractical" - sales increased by more than 12% in the fourth quarter of the year 1545.
