If you want .50 cal size then get the .50AE, which is the most powerful handgun out there. I believe Raging Bull has a model. My preference would be the .454 Casull in the Ruger Redhawk Super Alaskan. It's small enough to carry in a pocket and has the stopping power to put down an elephant, really. If you want to score the engine block, this would be the way to go.

I always thought the .50 Deagle would be nice even just for scare factor. It can rattle off 7 rounds faster than any handgun of it's size. That alone would make a cager pause!
