Big Boy Toy (real?)


The worlds most powerful pistol is the Austrian Pfeifer-Zeliska .600 Nitro Express Magnum. It is chambered to fire the British developed .600 caliber rifle  bullet originally made by Holland and Holland. This revolver was not originally a full production model but a one off, built especially for a wealthy Swiss gent...Mr. Zeliska.

But if you would like one and I am sure that a few of you 'gunslingers' with a bit of disposable income would, then contact Pfeifer arms ( url near bottom of page ) and they will make one for you. Priced at 13,840 Euro's. This equates as $17,316* or £11,722* including Tax ( *at Exchange rate as of 20 November 2008 )

Technical Data

Calibre: .600 Nitro Express or .458 Win Mag.

Muzzle energy:      6,230 joule's
Weight: 13.23 lbs

The .600 Nitro Express cartridge was originally developed in 1899 for big game hunters who went to Africa with the intention of killing Elephants, (something that I despise by the way) and was fired from a double barreled rifle. Even though Holland & Holland no longer manufacture these cartridges, they can still be sought through the gun trade, small reloading companies or even over the internet

This thing is a freak show with a revolving cylinder full of gunpowder. Something like a ton of impact velocity. There are some other pictures on the site. I like the videos. I'll like to those too.

A friend of mine called the Smith and Wesson 500 "Cartoonishly overpowered". I think there is a new bully on the block. I just can't get over the look of this thing. It looks like a revolver. It should have a cartoon face and fire 300 rounds between reloads. Trees should jump when it fires. The bullets need license plates for god's sake.
