Does anyone shoot anything other than 9mm?

[S&W Fan]

Now that the 11yr old grandson is enjoying shooting were running a lot of .22 through my old model 63.

When I go by myself I’m pretty much the only one shooting .38 or .44 special revolvers lol. Most of the time I shoot 9mm and .45acp.

 

[heavyduty5150!]

.40S&W and .45ACP... and lotsa 9... edc= .40, 9mm, .45acp, sometimes .38sp... 9, .40, 45 all Glocks. These days.

I own some 45's a few 357sig's, a 40S&W, a few 10mm's, a few 357 Combat Magnums, and a few 44 Magnums, so I have absolutely no need for a 9mm whatsoever

 

[h2ohhh]

I own a variety of calibers. A 38-3 Airweight in .38 is usually in my pocket. For security work I carry a HK VP9 or an Sig P226 in .40. Why the .40 has fallen from favor I don’t get it.

I subscribed to the theory over sixty years ago that EVERYONE should own a Browning Hi-Power. I do; it's a lovely tool, and hasn't been shot much at all, since I find wheel guns more to my liking; .357/.38 and .44 Special are my go-to shooters, with a Ruger Single Six for plinking. Just makes sense to a geezer who hates to pick up brass! ML

I see 9mm wundernines in droves at my local range, probably 3 to every other caliber. I shoot a lot of .22, .38 special and .45 Colt (it's not Long Colt, never has been, never will be, but that's an argument for another thread.) I find 9mm to be the perfect plinker round for semi-autos and leave serious work to my .40 or larger pistols. I reload all of my calibers except .22 and 9mm so you will find that brass at the range.

Last few trips to the range, 1 Ruger MKII, 1 9mm of any flavor. 150 rds .22's, 50-100 rds 9mm. Takes 10 min to clean the 9, clean the Ruger once or twice a year. I have gotten lazy, zero trips to the rifle range this year, which take more prep/cleanup. Joe

This reminds me of me Shorter barrels clean up faster. Getting older and having kids makes time a bigger factor for me. Much bigger.

Here lately I've been shooting more 380 and 22 LR than anything else. The 380 EZ is a delight to my old hands and back (for carry). I tinker with 30 SC once in a while but not often.

I primarily carry 9mm, but also carry .45 ACP, .357 Mag, .38 Special, and .380 ACP depending on various factors and quite frankly my mood.

I also shoot 9mm Makarov, .32 ACP, .25 ACP, .22 LR on a regular basis.

I routinely shoot pistols in .22LR, .380ACP, 9x19mm, .38 Special, 10mm Auto and .45ACP. My problem is that I bring too many guns to the range, and as a result I have too many pistols to clean - including my own and my wife’s. I need to learn to make each trip to the range a .45ACP day, or a .22LR day, etc.

Contrary to current custom - at least among new shooters - I started my wife with a .22LR revolver; that didn’t go well as my diminutive wife was unable to pull the relatively heavy trigger on the double-action revolver. Rather than transition to the light pull of the revolver in single-action, I next put a S&W M&P 22C in her hand and she was immediately hooked! After graduating to a 9mm pistol, she now has her concealed carry permit and daily carries a compact 9mm semi-auto pistol.

Well just yesterday I took my 1995 Baer 1911 and 100 rounds of Federal 230gr fmj to the range for some fun. It’s my favorite 1911.

Well, we cannot forget God’s caliber 45 ACP, and revolvers!

 

[bananaman]

I like ANYTHING in 45 caliber better be it in revolver or semi auto. Do have 4, 9mm semi auto pistols. Big .38 Special fan also. Bob

I carry the CZ P07, 15 rds 124 gr HST moving 100 fps faster than .38spl +P. 3 reloads on board vs my 642. I carried the 6906 for 27 years, a faithful companion. I guess I'm a fan of 9mm; a solid compromise (all handguns are when we are caught "unprepared" for "sudden violence") in the modern world. Joe

.38 Special comes to mind.
