So I am an avid shooter, have a safe full of guns, and not a single one of them is a 9mm. I don't have anything against the caliber, I just haven't found a 9mm that I wanted that wasn't available in 40. I'm not saying that 40 is better, I just like to stay as caliber specific as possible. Currently all of my pistols are either 22, 380, 40, 45, 38, 357, 410 or 44mag. Anyone else in the same boat? Own a plethora of handguns and not a single one is chambered in the most common centerfire pistol cartridge? This was just an AH HA moment...
I don't own a single 9mm...

mine are all either .22, .380, or 9mm.....mainly for stocking fewer calibers of ammo
That was kind of my scenario as well until I added a Governor, M&P340, Model 29, and a Desert Eagle to the mix!

This sounds like a serious problem which needs to be rectified ASAP. If you are looking for something caliber specific, you are not locked into a handgun platform and you have plenty of extra money laying around... might I suggest a TAVOR SAR B17-9 bullpup. An added bonus... it's made in the USA.
Ha! My Uncle just picked up the 9mm Tavor. My thinking is why would you want a 9mm in that platform when it could be a 5.56? I will be adding a Tavor very soon! That was the last rig I was going to buy, but I ended up buying a M&P10 instead. Have to start convincing the wife that the Tavor would be essential to possess!

I sold my Sig P226 which was my one and only 9mm way back in 1990. It was a nice shooting pistol, but I never warmed up to the 9mm cartridge. Since then I've only bought pistols chambered in .40s&w.
I do still have my S&W Model 27 I bought new back in the mid 70's and I'll never part with!
So...for pistol calibers I have 3....40s&w, .38spl, & .357mag

Time to get a Hi-Power!
I did a quick mental count, I have at 11, at least.
Not sure how that happened, picked up one here, one there, and like rabbits they're suddenly everywhere.

257wby, in your defense the 380 is a SHORT 9mm. 
Bullet Bob, you may be right, I did a quick mental count
& don't remember buying 7 different calibers. Maybe they
are like rabbits.

I don't have one at the moment (sold my last one in 2003), but that will change hopefully by Labor Day!

I bought my first 9mm last year. A shield because my wife wanted a shield and the 9 was the first and only one that we found(until the following week and they were all over the place). Two weeks later I bought my shield in 40 ans she shot that better, so, I had a 9mm. I sold that about a month ago and replaced it with a Talo Kryptec shield 40 to consolidate calibers for reloading.

The 9mm is far superior to all the rest, when you have to pay for ammo. I also have 40s and 45s along with 38/357s. the revolvers are what I use mostly as I reload and can't be bother craweling around looking for brass. Russian steel case 9mm even gives me a out on that chore.
