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 It is chambered to fire the British developed .600 caliber rifle bullet originally made by Holland and Holland.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 bespoke one off, built especially for a wealthy Swiss gentleman...Mr. Zeliska.
But if you would like one then contact Pfeifer arms and they will actually 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).
The Pfeifer Revolver is also available chambered for the .458 Winchester Magnum and this qualifies it as the second worlds most powerful handgun.
The .600 Nitro Express Magnum revolver is a single action, 5 shot, old west style gun. A single action revolver style was chosen for this gun as it is stronger in construction than a double action revolver due to the solid stronger base frame that the cylinder sits in.
