Frequently Asked Questions
Single Shot for sale
Is there a single-shot pistol?
Yes, single-shot pistols exist. Our marketplace carries 17 variants from manufacturers like CVA and Kimber, typically priced around $329, ranging from $212 to $1,680. Break-open actions dominate this category, chambered in calibers like .223 and 10mm. Sixteen variants are currently in stock across 26 retailers.
What is the point of a single-shot pistol?
Single-shot pistols offer accuracy, simplicity, and the ability to chamber powerful cartridges unsuitable for repeating designs. Hunters use them for precise shot placement. The lack of follow-up shots encourages disciplined marksmanship, and fewer moving parts make them more reliable and rugged than multi-shot alternatives.
What is the best handgun to carry while hunting?
Best choice depends on your hunting environment and target game. For backcountry predator defense, 10mm pistols or .44 Magnum revolvers offer sufficient power. For hunting medium game, .357 Magnum revolvers are effective. Prioritize reliability and accuracy over all else, and practice with any handgun before carrying it afield.
Are single-shot pistols legal in California?
California allows single-shot pistols under a limited exemption from unsafe handgun testing. They must have a minimum 6-inch barrel and meet overall length requirements. No specific action mechanism is mandated by the exemption. Regulations are complex, so consult a firearms attorney for your specific situation.
Is a revolver a single-shot?
No. Revolvers have multiple chambers in a rotating cylinder, allowing several shots before reloading. Single-shot firearms hold one round and require manual reloading after each discharge. Some revolvers use single-action triggers, but that refers to the trigger mechanism, not capacity.
