Handguns that make you say Whoa!

[KO3422]

Walther PPK .22lr Dural.

 

[kutz]

My Magnum Reseach BFR in .450 gets a look or two.

 

[Microgunner]

This. .22 Short

 

[BornToLooze]

Just looks like you're average 1911 doesn't it? Well I let my brother in law shoot it he was wondering why the grip was so wide, then he was surprised when the slide didn't lock back after 7 rounds, then after 7 more he was really surprised.

This one:

 

[BIG P]

SRH 454-7.5barrel & nikon 2.5-8x28
7mm-08 16'' encore
both make no friends at the range

 

[Microgunner]

I also own a RIA 22TCM that, although has a mild recoil, spews fire like a flame thrower and reports like a cannon.

 

[bluetopper]

My 10" Freedom Arms 44 Magnum.

 

[Pilot]

This always gets a few looks at the range.

 

[highpower3006]

I've had a couple remarks on this one.

 

[Willie Sutton]

Colt Walker with 60 grains of fffG under a round ball....

[Guinness2]

How about this .22 LR with bayonet and laser

 

[allaroundhunter]

This is my most "flashy" handgun; Colt Commander .38 Super

 

[22-rimfire]

I was shooting my BFR 475/480 the other day and I looked behind me and there were three or four guys watching. Everyone likes the big boomers, but few want to own one.

Other ones that get looks at the range are Pythons these days, N-frame Smiths, Colt Anaconda, the 22 military training rifles, just about anything that more than 75 years old.... People react to any caliber larger than 357 mag at the range for the most part.

 

[5Wire]

HK P9S 9mm roller locking semiauto.

HK P7M8 9mm :squeezecocker" semiauto.

Ruger 10/22 with Fajen Legacy Stock, a TALO special.

 

[allaroundhunter]

HK P9S 9mm roller locking semiauto.

That isn't an HK, that's a High Point!!

Just kidding, I am jealous, actually

 

[TXAZ]

I like 50bmg awkward

You mean like this one?:

 

[Webleymkv]

My Webley always gets a look or two

The CZ-52 usually gets people's attention when I fire it

As does a 10mm loaded with Blue Dot

And of course, .44 Magnum is always an attention getter

 

[Scorch]

I used to get a lot of reactions at the range when I touched off my Contender in 357 Herrett, but it had nothing to do with its looks.

 

[Biner]

My S&W Model 329 Night Guard in .44 Mag is an attention getter at the range. It's actually nice to shoot .44 Special loads, but full magnum loads are a bit much. If the bullet doesn't get the bad guy, the muzzle flash will.

I have a nephew who shoots a lot and brags that recoil doesn't bother him. He'll shoot a Desert Eagle .50 cal one-handed. I let him shoot a cylinder of magnum loads through the Night Guard. After he was done, he handed it back to me, holding it like a dirty diaper, and said "That's messed up!" (He used a bit more colorful word than "messed", though.)
