The Kaboom Factor...

[MisterG]

My father loves a handgun that makes a loud, deep, rumbling KABOOM sound. He does not like a crack or pop. When we go to the gun shop, the owner jokingly will tell him 'nah, you won't like that gun, it doesn't have a high enough kaboom factor'. What common handgun has the highest kaboom factor?

TC Encore handgun in 45-70, the .50 S&W, the Freedom Arms in .475 Linebaugh, the FA in .454 Casull are all REEEEEAL CLOSE if not THERE!

454 Casull is like getting whacked with a 2x4 if you are next to and slightly behind the shoooter.

Any GLock chambered in .40 S&W...




Somebody had to say it!

Anything shooting black powder.

Very satisfying on both the kaboom factor and the cloud of wicked smoke.

 

[yesterdaysyouth]

cz52 and surplus ammo...

 

[grampster]

.454 Casull or a blackpower handgun.

While the .454 does well - this lil' fella is a tad more ''boomy'' ....... long large cartridge - lower pressures ... a more ''laid back'' boom if you will





Oh and - forget the ''Gov't'' bit - loading wants to be up around strong lever action levels ..... 30,000 or sl over. 41.5 grains reloader 7 shoving a 405 grn LaserCast fits the bill!

I made some really laid back KB's with a 45-70 TC AND some Black powder! that was nice, loud and smoky.

Second on the CZ-52. If you really want a boom dig up some of the Magsafe 7.62 x 25's. Holy COW.
