OK so imagine you were in a shootout. you are going to be on a football field with barrels and all kinds of things to hide behind thrown about. Your enemy starts on one end of the field and you start on the other. The only weapon allowed is a pistol. What pistol would you choose and why?

Lebell

Hmm.

I think a .44 magnum with a 5" barrel, and a shoulder stock if allowed.

Reach out and touch someone.

If I can't have that, then one of those automatic Glocks.

MageB420666

I would choose a laser pistol from star trek

So, do we get reloads, or just one mag?

If it is just one mag, I would take a FN 57. 20 round mag can't do you wrong.

If just one load, a 357 revolver. S&W 686 or Taurus 66 with 6 inch barrel.

Of course the StarTrek Phaser would be good to

The_Dunedan

CZ-52, no question. Accurate, reliable, and that little bullet will punch through just about anything up to a rifle-rated vest.

Blistex

Given those circumstances, I'd have to say the S&W 500 10 1/2".


This pig is the closest thing to a rifle avaliable! The accuracy and stopping power should allow you to start firing effectively well before your opponent does. I've seen videos of this guy on a rifle range getting decent groups. He actually held the monster like a smg.

Also if your opponent is hiding behind a barrel or another obstacle this is the handgun that has the best chance of penetrating it and hitting him.

The Phenomenon

I am partial to the CZ-75 myself.

Damn fine weapon.

Moonduck

Pistol? 100yds? Remington XP-100 or T/C Contender, scoped either way. 5.56NATO is standard caliber for the XP-100 and the T/C could be had in numerous formats.

At 100yds starting distance, accuracy will beat rate of fire in teh arena of handguns. Either of the above are pretty much rifle accurate at that range, and using rifle calibers. I'd probably go for the T/C simply because it can put more serious rounds downrange easily. Something potent, but not going to be too harsh. .30-30 Winchester would work right well at those ranges, as would some of the 7mm wildcats, and neither would eat your hand.

I'm most certainly going the comedy route and voting for the Calico M100. I mean what could go wrong using this weapon at the length of a football field?



"The most interesting feature of the Calico firearms is the top-mounted, cylindrical magazine of impressive capacity. Made mostly of plastics, this magazine contains a helical guide grooves at its "inner" cylindrical wall, with the rotating central "follower", that causes the cartridges to follow the helical track inside the cylinder. The follower is operated by the spiral spring, located at the rear of the cylinder. Magazine is equipped with winding handle, so it can be stored loaded and with unwound spring, to avoid loss of spring tension during the storage time. When required, magazine spring could be quickly wound up by rotating the handle to prepare magazine for fire. Magazines for Calico guns can store 50 or 100 rounds in relatively compact packages."

If I can't reload, I'll put a 50-round magazine in a TEC 9 so I have enough rounds to blind fire a few times or take a few shots quickly.

nowthen

I would choose to be better trained than my opponent...

I have a Calico, it's great. Large magazine, long barrel (9mm from a long barrel will give you great velocity.) It would be a good choice!

Walther P99 .9 mm. The damn thing fits in the palm of my hand, and is one of the most dependable weapons I've ever used. Double action, light (720g unloaded!), 16 round clip, made in Germany (bad nazis, good weapons and cars), tennifer treated (just like a glock), and smooth and consistant. In this situation, you would neet to be highly mobile and able to fire while moving. You'd need a gun that is powerful, but light. Easy to use, and dependable, the P99 is the choice for a lot of military and police units (that's gotta say something about similar situations).
It's starting to sound like an essay. While this situation would be kinda scary, there'd ceritnally be a thrill involved.

tropple

Perhaps a .44 Automag?

Nice thing about the S&W 500 and the DE is that they make excellent blunt objects to beat your opponent if you and him run out of ammo. If there were 2 handguns that should have Bayonettes it would be these two!

Scipio

I'd roll with a tec 9.

Either would be exactly my choice, maybe in the .35 Remington caliber. Heavy enough to punch through the barrels and still have enough zip to finalize.

longbough

Phaser
or a Blame Thrower (Mystery Men)

cd45

I like the idea of the Calico. I would choose the 100 round mag instead of the 50 rounder though.

daswig

A Nuke .50 by Birdman.

What a silly question.

Unleashed

Best suggestion yet!

Barring that, a Colt Python or Anaconda with a scope - pick the sod off from a distance before he can get close up. Or perhaps a Browning Hi-Power, hey, I happen to like 9mm! More penetration than a .44 or .45 means you can shoot through barrels etc. in your way.

longbough

My thoughts exactly - deserves a silly answer.

Jerron36

I think I would go with the FN 57 as well. The FN websight: "The Five-seveN Pistol is the companion weapon to the P90 sub-machine gun. The 5.7x28mm ammunition has the capability of penetrating body armor at extended ranges, yet has less felt recoil and is less prone to over-penetration. The Five-seveN Tactical is an easily concealable single action pistol with a 20-round magazine capacity. A maximum use has been made of composite materials in the frame and slide to result in an extremely light weight, 1.7 pound, design."

BTW, how do you define "pistol"? I've got a Class 2 buddy who keeps trying to get me to chop down my MG-34 into an "MG-34K", so that I can conceal it under my trenchcoat. Would that qualify?

sasKuach

What about an mp5k? It's the right size (although I'd love to see an MG-34"K" )

Suave

Sphynx 3000 Tactical in 9mm Para

Well, I can't make up my mind. Either that or a Glock 18 (mmm 31 shots and burst fire).

ziadel

they tried something like this about 60 years ago, it was called Normandy.


Guess who won

Canada won. :P

Damn. That SA model is really fine. I might have to get one just to have it. SA has always put out quality stuff and that 1911 is no exception.

the sights are garbage (but they are supposed to be, its a WWII repro for fucks sake, what were they gonna do, put tritium dot's on em?)


the main complaints are dinged cases (its WWII vintage, they didnt lower the ejection ports back in the day) and the garbage front sight...

other than that, its rock solid reliable, and cheap.





the only thing canada has ever won is the annual ass-clown international contest


on a serious note, the first Special Service Forces (the precursor to special forces) were comprised of Canadian and American troops... just food for thought...


of course, Canada would have stayed out of WWII if the brits hadn't twisted their arm...

Yes, that is very thoughtful food.

Well the US would have stayed out of WWII if Japan hadn't bombed them, so I think your country wins the isolationist of the year award.

[QUOTE=Suave]Also the only country to actually accomplish their full objectives at Normandy. :P
[quote]



thats not that big a deal, considering all they were expected to do was..... wait, they were'nt actually required to do anything



yes, I thought so too




eh, prolly not. we would have gotten fed up with hitler eventually, it would have just been a lot harder to win that war at that point...

I'm strongly considering getting one of these for my concealed carry weapon, so since we're on the subject of Springfield 1911's ...

Suave

Nothing except take a beach. :P And yes, "you" would have gotten fed up with Hitler, after he took all of Europe, the UK, and Asia and you finally couldn't avoid the Third Reich anymore.

ziadel

seems to me like a CCW pistol would be better off without the light rail...


just something else to snag on the draw, just my 2 cents...
