To keep this short, the state I live mandates range qualification to get a carry license and the law is you cannot carry a caliber that is larger than the one you qualify with, so if for some reason someday I bought a .50 caliber handgun and only qualified with .45, it wouldn't be legal to carry it.
I do have my .54 single shot percussion pistol I wouldn't mind carrying on occasion, but IDK if I can qualify at 25y with that, nor if I would carry it more than once out in the woods.
It leaves me to ask others: is there a good enough reason for me to go out of my way to attempt to qualify with something larger than a .45 caliber?
One of the fun little things about the range qualification is that so long as the firearm is legally a pistol, it can have any kind of optic on it, which means if I wanted to, I could buy a single shot Thompson Center with a 4x scope and qualify with that and it's not against the rules.
