* The UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 adaptation of ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'' gives you a [[RevolversAreJustBetter Colt Anaconda]] which is equipped with a scope. Since it's the [[HandCannon most powerful pistol]] in the game, it fits this well as accurately-aimed shots can be one-shot kills.

Added an Arcane Sniper entry about in universe very long range musket shots
Added DiffLines:
* Done InUniverse in ''Literature/ArcaneSniper'' by [[FriendlySniper Ha Leeha,]] who manages to hit targets over hundreds of meters away with a ''musket.'' [[OutsideContextProblem To him, an ex-sniper, this is natural, but to everyone else it's absolutely insane.]]
** [[SubvertedTrope Then subverted]] when he gets a pair of small guns. He quickly realizes the accurate range for them is short, and should only be used for close quarters combat. The fact that [[LongRangeFighter handguns aren't his strongsuit compared to long barreled guns]] may have something to do with it.

* There is a special kind of hunting where a pistol makes sense: Poaching, because the shorter weapon is easier to conceal. Combine a scope with a small-caliber round and maybe even a suppressor for an unobtrusive way to get some meat for the pot. A typical example would be a long-barrelled breeched pistol chambered for .22lr.

* In ''VideoGame/RedSteel'' multiplayer, the starting pistol has perfect accuracy and, like the sniper rifle, is an instant kill from any range if the opponent is shot in the head. Given the point-and-shoot aiming of the Wii, even lacking a scope it was fairly easy to pick off an enemy at long range (granted the four levels were all relatively small). Odd, given that other weapons lacked this feature and the pistol was otherwise a relatively weak weapon, best replaced with another gun were it not for this quirk.
