That is so true...I never though 15 years ago that .40 would take such a fall....Good round too, just fell completely out of favor when 9mm ballistics matched it.
Does anyone shoot anything other than 9mm?

I'm a Card Carrying Member of the 9mm Luger Hater's Club !
I cast my own bullets and reload all my brass and shoot the following
My Favorires ...
45 ACP , 45 AR (auto-rim) , 45Colt
41 Magnum ( my favorite)
38 Special , 357 Magnum , 38 S&W
32-20 WCF and 32 auto
I do have one 9mm Lugera ... a Walther P-38 of WWII vintage , my Dad bought it after the war ... I cast , reload and shoot it but I prefer the 45 acp and 38 special ... the 9mm is a little stinker ...
I don't care for them !

I have 4 9mm.
The Beretta 92 is an ok gun.
The CZs I have are all exceptional. They never malfunction. The CZ 75B Cajunized, the Shadow II SA, and the Shadow II Compact will all easily out shoot all my 7, 45 ACP Pistols. The CZs have great sights, great triggers, for my hand well. They are super accurate. And who cares if I can't find the brass. Brass is si cheap. Bullets are cheap. Doesn't burn much powder.
I shoot the standard other stuff as well. 357, 44s, 223, 308.

Yup. 9mm is relatively cheap and since I shoot it infrequently, only when I have the urge to shoot either of my two Hi Powers, I can't be bothered reloading it. Most of my range guns are revolvers. Very relaxing and no brass to sweep up.
I got myself a Rock River Arms .22LR upper for my Del-Ton lower and I've been shooting quite a bit of .22LR lately.
S&W 15-22 mags work with it.

I load and shoot, 22, 22 mag, 9mm, 38 super, 38 spec, 357 mag, 40 s&w, 10mm, 44spec, 44 mag, 45acp and 45 lc in handguns.
In rifles, I load and shoot 17 hmr, 17 hornet, 22 lr, 22mag, 22 hornet, 22 k hornet, 218 bee, 223, 22-250, 243, 6.5x55, 270, 280, 7x57, 7mm-08, 7mm rem, mag, 30 carbine, 30-30, .308, 30-06, 300 win mag, .348 win. 375 h&h and 45-70.
Shotgun load and shoot, 12 ga, 16 ga, 20 ga, and 28 ga.. I gave up on 410 to big a pain to reload.
In past I additionally did 222, 25-06, 260 rem, 7mm BR, 338 win mag, 357 maximum, 45 win mag and 458 win mag.
I now sell dies brass and components for a caliber, I am retiring from. This is to avoid getting the urge to add another weapon, because I have components left. The next to go will be the 300 win and 375 H&H, I don't enjoy the recoil nor hunt anything that needs them. Although, the 375 does have the most versatility in load and recoil range for the handloader.

Me too, shoot a lot of 22 auto and revolver. Going back to 38 spec now, limit myself to 50 rds of 45 unless I want sore hands. Lots of 9mm as that's what we shoot in student classes after they learn 22 revolver and 22 auto. 40SW also good for my range time.
