Favourite Pulp Side Arm ?

[Blackwolf]

  Well we all like Mauser Broomhandles? Then there is the Webley Fosbery,Colt 1911 and the Artillery Modell Luger (with snail drum). For me it always ends up at the Webley Mars. An overly powerful (it gave an 'magnum flinch' to it's users)and too complicated automatic,for those reasons I love it,shame no miniature company has ever thought of it? Too obscure maybe?

        Whats your's?

  Trad. Postal,trad. Also rather like the Webley Bland Pryse in .577 yes you read it right .577,tho' perhaps it's too early to be Pulp.............

You nailed it with your first post. Any further discussion is merely wasted breath.

Oh I don't know? It is cool,nice pic Plynkes,schnell feuer and a Broomhandle

Webleys of all shapes and sizes and lovely weapons, and so I am also fond of the Dutch 1894 Army Revolver.

[Will Bailie]

Obviously, first vote must go to the broomhandled Mauser.  For simple elegance, however, the sword cane deserves an honorable mention.

If it is just to look at I prefer the broomhandle Mauser. If it is to actually use I like the Webley .454 revolver.

a hand shovel and holy water!

sexier than all the broomhandle-mausers in the world!

and they are always useful in desert campaigns!

[Tom Reed]

I also like the Broomhandle Mauser, but after that my favorite gun, even though it's more of a western pistol, is the LeMat revolver. 9 shots and a single shot shotgun barrel!

I concur...



Or...

[Malamute]

I concur...

Or the pump action version.

While I would naturally choose the Colt 1911 A1 as my own perfect sidearm (with the Mauser running a closely contested second), I think it shocking that nobody has yet mentioned the Smith & Wesson .38:



Can you imagine a dimestore Pulp novella without one of these? What would the trusty beat cop, or down at heel private dick do without them?

[Froggy the Great]

This might be stretching the period for Pulp per se, but I've always had a soft spot for the MP-40.

[Doomhippie]

I like 'em all as long as they have two qualities: punch big holes into goons and be totally useless against evil masterminds.
