We need a good double barrel pistol like the old days. Once you get too much cartridge, we are looking at a cylinder about the size of a wheel on the Biscuit Chuckwagon.

There is a 50 BMG pistol .http://www.securityarms.com/20010315/galleryfiles/0600/601.htm
One of the gun magazines tested it ( and 50 cal rifles) a few years back.

Not my idea of a CCW pistol or for hunting ,but a fun idea.

That is not actually a pistol it is registered as a short barrel rifle.if is was made as a pistol all the armor pearcing ammo would have been banned .which is the reason the builder made it a SBR.

Gary Reeder makes a .500 Maxium (revolver) that is about 125 f/sto 150 f/s faster than the .500 S&W.

Legally in the US no handgun can be larger then .50. When the Desert Eagle first came out they had to revamp because it could not pass the BATF muster since it's orignal caliber was something like .51.

There is a .50 at 800 fps called the .50GI comes in a 1911 package
