    What's your strongest and weakest handguns?

    So what's your strongest and weakest centerfire handguns in your collection? Modern and C&R, mixed 'em or don't. Here's my pair.

    Ruger Super Redhawk .454 Casull and Soviet Tula arsenal M1895 Nagant

    Hmmm...if you’re referring to material strength at the frame/slide

    I guess strongest is my HK Mark 23 and IMI Jericho 941
    Weakest is probably my Walther P5 Compact and Walther P88

      Oh good point! I was thinking in terms of the ammo but that's an interesting perspective. My dad would totally appreciate your thinking since he's a retired engineer in Materials Science.

        Well in that case.

        22 Short, Butler Derringer

          Strongest - .44 Mag, Taurus M44

          Weakest - 9mm pinfire, Belgium side-by-side, unable to date it but probably made in the 1850s

          Weakest modern - .22lr Beretta Bobcat

              Weakest. Probably a toss-up between my RIA FS-Ultra (all my other 1911's are SA's or Kimbers), and my Taurus 605. Because... Taurus.

                  Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

                        Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

                              My strongest are 1911s, they are made out of steel and you could put thousands of pounds on them. My weakest are glocks and they are made out of plastic and you can crush them pretty easy.
