I have a few larger revolvers with 6” barrels, however my largest handgun is actually an autoloader.
I got this Zastava M92PV in 2015 when they were still very reasonably priced, and since have slowly been getting it set up just how I want it. I finally got around to replacing the stock wood hand guards yesterday with a very nice set in Russian plum color from Manticore arms and I’m very happy so far.

My 3030 T/C, my #1 deer killer with 14" bull barrel, since I got it as a gift from my son many yrs ago, do also have a Walker, actually as heavy as the T/C and of course the DW 357 SM with 10" barrel, also have the 8" and 6" for that!

Right now it's a Ruger .454 Casul with a 7.5" barrel.

I just bought another one to compete for the crown. Keystone Chipmunk Hunter. It’s a long time wishlist gun, and it’s finally a reality... or will be at Christmas when the kids give it to me. That reminds me of one other large one I had in the past... Ruger Charger. I didn’t Much care for the charger. It was too easy to just burn ammo without really trying to make shots. Bolt action will slow me down and force me to be more intentional

Depends on how you look at it.
Either my 7½" Ruger Super Redhawk .454.
Or my 11" Rossi Overland 12 gauge.

My largest handgun is a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter. I doubt I will ever own one any larger.

I got the issues worked out with my chipmunk pistol, so here it is in its glory... waiting for Christmas to come so that it can come out and play.

The Walker by size and weight, although the Old Armies aren’t exactly light weights. To some folks these wouldn’t count being charcoal burners but fully loaded as heavy hitting as many. Not shown several N frame Smiths, magnums all.

This is Mongo, my largest handgun. He weighs four and one half pounds. He is chambered in .45 P.I.T.A. A self explanatory acronym. A 45-70 case cut down to 1 1/2". I made Mongo a few years back out of scraps of steel and a barrel that Les gave me.
Obviously a copy of a Rolling block, with a few tweaks, all coil springs being one. I chambered Mongo with a drill bitand screwed up my first attempt. Mongo was supposed to be a .45 Colt. A one size larger bit and a lot more care resulted in a serviceable chamber that the shortened 45-70 case fit in nicely.
My favorite load is a 385 gr 45-70 bullet ahead of all the 4227 that I can stuff in the case, about 18 grains Recoil is mild and I have no idea what the velocity is. Probably not more than 600-700 FPS, but judging by how hard it whacks my steel gong I'm guessing it packs a pretty good wallop.
I had a T/C Contender in 45/70 with a 16 inch barrel. My load was a 500 gr Postell, as cast bullet lubed with machine grease and 50 gr by volume of FFFG. I took a few deer with it, but I like rifles more, so I sold it.
