I received an email add from Classic Firearms with the title "What would Santa carry?". It is a thought provoking question. I am thinking either a S&W model 29 in .44Magnum aka "Dirty Harry revolver" or a Colt Single Action Army in .45colt. He strikes me as a revolver kind of guy. While in the sleigh, it would be in a cross draw holster. What say you?
Do the elves load his ammo and clean his guns?

Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
Doesn’t need one, you couldn’t get the drop on him as he knows if you’re naughty or nice. Not to mention his ability to bend the laws of space and time you couldn’t hit him anyway.
In his sleigh...a .30/30 lever action in a finely tooled leather scabbard.
On his fat old body, a Colt SAA in .44 Spl.

I vote a 1911 long slide in 10mm.

Santa is VERY old school - A Remington 1858 8 inch in 44, and a cavalry saber.
A nice Christmas Eve movie that will answer your question https://www.amazon.com/Fatman-Mel-Gibson/dp/B08N1LGCC7
Now come on since Santa isnt bound by our laws, Everyone knows it would be a belt fed Browning Ma educe on the sleigh and a Thompson slung across his chest, with a 1911 on his hip. Rudolph's red nose would laser mark the targets for him
A big revolver like 500 S&W.

I see him carrying a fine pair of flintlock pistols.
Liberalism is a cult divorced from reality.
I'll second that, but a pair of nickel plated ones with reindeer stag handles.
(I figger he has plenty of sheds in his sheds with which elves can stock his sixguns.)

Reindeer = Finland (?)
Santa used to carry a M39 Mosin, but now carries a RK62 Valmut.
Now if Santa called his reindeer Caribou he probably carries a P14.
I was thinking matchlock or flintlock due to primer import issues
Santa can import whatever he wants.
Santa has elves to make primers.

Stop with the reindeer games.

A Red Ryder BB GuN what else?
Did anyone watch Fatman? In the movie Santa (played by Mel Gibson) used a 1911 and a Colt Walker revolver.
That was last year when he got shot by kids with a rifle. He may be packing heavier this year. The whole "proactive" thing?
