I've been thinking a lot lately about starting a collection of monster handguns. There's a lot of unique and great looking large pistols out there that have really piqued my interest. If you can think of any others feel free to add some pics. 1) .475 Wildey Magnum. The gun Charles Bronson used in Death Wish 3.  2) .44 Automag. I know that Desertmoon had one of these for a while, which is when it first appeared on my radar. Lots of similarities to the Wildey.  3) Mateba Unica .44 autorevolver. A highly unusual and very beautiful pistol. I want one with a nickel finish and 8" barrel, although these are very hard to find.  4) AMT Automag III .30 carbine. A HUGE 1911 style pistol, in an unusual caliber.  5) .500S&W shortbarrel model.  6) S&W .460XVR longbarrel model.  7) HK MK23 SOCOM .45ACP  8) Deagle Fiddy. Possibly wit beamz.  Edited because I don't know my Charles Bronson films like I should. |
A flashlight or laser. As in beams of light. beamz = beams = 1 = .9bar |
There was a post a while back about ghetto gangsters in a gunshop asking to see "Deagles" and asking if "dey came wif beamz." Also... I want a Mark23 SOCOM. 
|
I want one of these so bad... Haven't been able to find any anywhere... |
Also, NME can sense almost any Deagle thread and should be here to post the picture soon. SBG |
They should have been shot at that moment.
They aren't all they are cracked up to be. They are huge. They shoot pretty good, but their size and pricetag are WAAAY too much for my taste. |
|
You might want to reconsider on the Deagle Fiddy..... I have fired a couple of them, and they have a very bad habit of throwing the spent casing straight back at your forehead. It was kind of un-nerving to get hit in the face with hot brass every time you fired the gun. Shoot one before you buy it. |
Layza beamz playa!

You must be 9 feet tall. Those things take up most of my thigh in a tactical holster. On shorter dudes, it goes practically from hip to knee. |

And I have all of the conversion kits 45ACP, 357Rem Mag, 10mmACP. |
Im thinking that he carrys those in the small of his back and that he has a serious personality defect to do it regularly. It would be the coolest thing ever if i was Lara Croft Tomb Raider, but unfortunately i dont have gianoromous titties and a hankerin to get the living shit beat out of me by the coppers. |
I've never had that problem but mine has a way of working the safety screw out when firing even after being loctited. It's pretty annoying and I agree with firing before buying. I admit, however, it's definitely an attention getter and is really fun to shoot. |
It is unique to say the least. I also like the barrel being alined to the bottom chamber. |
  Tiger hunting in India in the days of the British Raj was dangerous for both the tiger and the hunter. It was not unknown for the tiger to try to climb up the elephant to get at the hunters in the howdah, and at such close range, a rifle was not an effective weapon. For such 'last ditch' defense, a large-bore, double barrelled pistol was used, and these came to be known as "Howdah Pistols". The one shown here is a fine example made by Purdey in the first half of the 19th century. Like most howdah pistols, it is a large smoothbore, in this case, 0.662"(16 ga) with 7 1/2" barrels. Since they were meant for 'snatch & shoot' action, it has only a rudimentary bead front sight and no rear sight, but it is relatively light (2 pounds 6 ounces), and the balance is absolutely superb. Except at the lowest charge, shooting the pistol can only be described as 'brutal' - my knuckles were bruised, and my wrists felt like they were hit with a bat. I could not get a consistent velocity reading with the chronograph at 60gr, but I had enough data to estimate the ball energy with a 70gr charge. The accuracy of the pistol was at best modest, particularly as its light weight and heavy ball made it hard to control, and the off-center kick moved the impact point a good eight inches to the side which was fired.. At an elephant-to-ground distance of about 20 feet, I could generally get a 6 inch group - not great precision, but on the other hand, a tiger is a pretty large animal - especially at close range.. |
I've handled one at the range. At first I had no idea what it was, my friend came up and was like "check out this semi-revolver" and I was thinking he didn't know what he was talking about. Then I examined it and was like "holy shit, he wasn't kidding" |
What those holsters be and where can I get one? |

.50 BMG pistol Wholly hell could you imagine the muzzle flash on that thing! (Not to mention recoil) |
 Remington XP-100. Mine is chambered in 7mm BR, but I've shot one in .308, and they go bigger. This one isn't mine, it's just a pic I found on the web. They weigh about 6 lbs, plus or minus, depending on the stock and the barrel profile. The 7BR has about twice the muzzle energy of a .44 Magnum. Not at all unpleasant to shoot, accurate out past 200 yards. |
I am only 6', 180 lbs and I can conceal mine well. It is not nearly as hard as you think. Best .45 money can buy. I am out of town right now, but when I get back I should post a pic of my monster handgun collection - Freedom Arms .454 Casull Freedom Arms .475 Linebaugh Freedom Arms .500 Linebaugh Taurus Raging Bull .454 S&W 500 - 4" Barrel S&W .460 XVR HK Mk. 23 Taurus .44 Magnum Thompson/Center Encore in .450 Marlin |
 I don't have any pics of my own (no camera), but I've got 4 desert eagles, 2 with beamz. (Beamz = Laser Devices BA-2) Link  Edited to add: I've got no idea how to mount a surefire on a desert eagle, but I would if I could.

You use the mark 23 boat anchors for carry pieces?  Whatever makes you happy! |
