A thread died for this.

Wtf do you think OP?
What are pistols meant for?
What other types are there?
How long does it take to cycle a fucking bolt?

Is forum sliding still a thing? I've been noticing a lot of shit threads lately and a huge increase in traffic

You're only fooling yourselves.
>>34125995
Anyways.
Obviously there's the issue of speed and capacity.
Why have a single cartridge in a pistol with a mechanism that's slow to work when there's more practical options out there?
Such as a revolver or another type of breech loading pistol.

I wish they did, a 3+1 target pistol that's bolt action sounds really cool.

Because any accuracy gained by the action is offset by sight radius and barrel length. Also is a stupid idea anon.

>>34126949
Those pistols are aesthetic af tho, it must be admitted.

>>34125995
Because break action pistols are better.

I mean, it's a gimmick now but it was once rooted in viable use. I think there are reports of the French resistance using some as well against the Nazis.

The retention of the front sight amuses me.

No, they're doing it to remind you how foolish and retarded you post is.

>>34125995
Why would they? I mean is this a real question or a roundabout way of saying that you think they look cool?

>>34127961
No rear sight, but you need the front nose-cap for the bayonet lug not the front sight.

Remington sold quite a few XP-100's.

They were a niche market, but still thousands were sold.

If they offered one in 5.56 NATO , with a left handed action and set up to feed from a STANAG mag from the left, I'd have one for sod-poodles.

The few I've shot were well made, being basically scaled M1917 rifle actions.

>>34125995
Because revolvers existed.

>>34129946
New bullshit threads like this are made at such a rate that anything worth a damn is pushed off the board in hours.

The fuck is going on here? Some weird firearm BDSM shit?

Also pistols aren't made for very long range so you don't get all that many benefits from having it be bolt action. As far as I can tell, the primary reason bolt action rifles are still common is that they can be made more precise due to the lack of moving parts after a round goes off. Just my thoughts, could be way off the mark.

the gun has a bolt to make it california legal lad.
