I just read an article about certain ammo calibers that "are becoming obsolete". Among them are the .25 Aoto, .32 ACP, both understandable, and others like the .40 S&W and .45 GAP.
The author stated that the two most popular calibers are 9mm and .45 ACP. I know that a .45 Auto Rim is produced, but I don't see it commonly available. I would think that with the popularity of these two calibers, and with ammo producers already producing 9mm & .45, it wouldn't be too big of a stretch production-wise to make both of these calibers widely available in an auto-rim. I don't know anything about ballistics, but I could see a 9mm auto rim edging out .38 Special (Blasphemy! I know!).
I could also see the .40 S&W in an auto rim version being popular with revolver fans.
At the very least, revolver manufacturers might consider producing revolvers that can accept an auto cartridge without the use of a moon clip. An even better choice.
