Candidates:
-A good target .22LR pistol. I used to shoot at spent shotgun shells freehand at 25 yards.
-long barreled .357 or .44mag revolver. We used to play the old cowboy myth of shooting 200 yards with revolvers to keep the BG's heads down. You can actually hit a mansized target. I don't think 1911s could do that.
