I go with the Colt .45. Good enough for the Shadow and the Ghost Who Walks, good enough for me.

 Yeah,great in Last Man Standing,a brilliant film (based on Yojimbo). Actually has a scene where Bruce Willis is loading loads of mags,a first in Hollywood,the hero actually having a realistic ammo supply. And the Shadow,forgot about him,maybe that should be sidearm(s)

[bc99]

Webley, with the lanyard attached of course.

if it comes to pulp, I favor the doulble barrel sawn-off shotgun, preferrably with exterior cocks
for later the mp 40, earlier the whitneyville walker dragoon

but I agree that the broomhandle is the ultimate pulp sidearm

are rayguns pulp?

[Plynkes]

Yes. Very much so. Especially ones styled like 50s American cars, with lots of pointless fins and such.


Of course, the ultimate raygun is still the Broomhandle Mauser:

then I think I like this one

[Gundamentalist 5.56]

No, no, no!

The best Pulp side arm is the P-08 Luger!

...Where function finally meets form.
...When the weapon is an extension of the hand.
...There's a reason it was the most coverted trophy of both world wars for allied troops.
...As used by all good Prussian evil masterminds.

I'll let the pictures do the talking...


And when you really need to shoot a lot of people...

DEATH-RAY!!!

I always admired the mechanism of the Luger, and how it really worked well
production must have been expensive

the follower model Walther is a piece of junk that You better throw instead of shooting

Merwin and Hulbert double action "pocket" revolver in 44-40. or a Colt 1911 in 38 super caliber.  But nothing brings a fight to an end quite like a sawed-off 12 guage loaded with 00 buckshot.

The first is a 1870s revolver that was too well made, and therefore too expensive.  It was the only revolver that would only eject fired cartidges and leave in the cylinder unfired cartridges.

The 1922 in 38 super was Clyde Barrows choice as it was a good cartidge for punching holes in cars.  Sort of the 10mm or 40 S&W cartidge of the day.

[Leapsnbounds]

Give me a Luger any day.

[Weird WWII]

Dual Colt 1911A1 in shoulder holsters with a couple pockets full of magazines and a client's dame in some candid black and whites.

Bliss,
