20 Most Powerful Handguns Ever Made

Some of these handguns are for those that are not recoil sensitive. I have a Ruger .454 Casull (which is not on this list) and it is not real enjoyable to shoot. I have shot the Magnum Research BFR in 45-70 and one cylinder was enough. Why the FN Five-seveN is on the list is surprising. I guess it's for the military and LEO only ammo. I have a Ruger LC carbine and the OTC ammo has less recoil than 9mm. In fact that's the reason I got it. My eye doc wants me to reduce recoil on my long guns. I love anything in 10mm. Have the Glock 20 and 29, S&W 1076, and 2 S&W 610s. Lost out on a Delta Elite years ago thanks to Maryland's crummy handgun laws.

"Why the FN Five-seveN is on the list is surprising."

Because the article was written by an "expert" for MSN.

They include the .44 Mag and FN 5.7, and yet they overlook the .475 and .500 Linebaugh.

The .44 Magnum is included in slide 7 with the AMT Auto Mag V and slide 8 with the S&W 629. I really don't know why the .45ACP was included in multiple platforms. Great round but it is what it is. Looks like the writer wanted to fill out the list without doing too much work. I certainly would have added the T/C Contender and Encore. I had pretty much had a Contender barrel for every center fire round made for it.

Why were some of the obviously, not the most powerful handguns is simple. MSN wouldn't know a 454 from a .22 cb.
