Browse single shot handguns online, or visit our gun store in El Dorado Springs, Missouri. Bear Arms serves customers from nearby cities including Nevada, Bolivar, Clinton, Butler, and Lamar.
All single shot handgun transfers must follow federal requirements and any applicable Missouri rules. Online orders commonly ship to a licensed dealer, where the buyer completes the required paperwork, presents valid identification, and passes the background check before taking possession.
Pickup timing, transfer steps, and store procedures can vary by order. Contact the shop directly for current details on identification requirements, in-store pickup, and transfer information.
A single shot handgun loads and fires one cartridge at a time, with no magazine-driven feeding system. Many models use break-action or tip-up designs that make loading and unloading direct.
Yes. One-round capacity encourages disciplined trigger control, sight alignment, and follow-through on every press. That pace tends to sharpen technique faster than high-volume shooting.
Yes. Solid lockup and quality barrels often produce consistent point of impact with the right load. Ammunition choice can tighten groups, so testing matters.
They fit formal target work, small-game hunting, and skill-focused practice where precision matters. Many owners like them for their uncomplicated operation and easy maintenance.
High-velocity options such as .22-250 Remington and .243 Winchester can suit field use when chambered in the right platform. Rimfire choices like .22 LR stay popular for small game and training thanks to low recoil and cost.
Yes. Some models accept 9mm through conversion barrels or tubes designed for that platform. Confirm fit, headspace, and firing-pin alignment before regular use.
No. Most single shot designs load directly into the chamber rather than feeding from a detachable magazine. A few specialty models may use accessories for storage or carrying, yet the firing cycle still remains one round at a time.
Clean the bore, chamber area, and breech face after shooting, then wipe the hinge or lockup points. Light lubrication on wear surfaces helps prevent corrosion and keeps lockup consistent.
