What is your favorite handgun caliber?

[dave1918a2]

357 mag is also my favorite. I think 41 mag would be my favorite if i reloaded, but I dont. So 357 it is.

I reload so 41 magnum is My favorite, 22LR #2.

I pack a .44 special,so that's my choice for now!

It's a tie between the .38 and .44 Special. Love shooting both.

 

[Bakebfr480]

Its a toss up .......45 Colt or 44 Magnum!

 

[10mmauto]

.357....

Just kidding!

10mm of course.

 

[Arisin Wind]

My favorite handgun caliber is .452. My favorite handgun cartridge is 45 Colt.

 

[Smith357]

.357 works well with small critters or the two legged ones

 

[Squarebutt]

Tossup between .45 ACP and .38 Special. Or whatever The Voices tell me.

Same as my answer on another sub-forum. I'm no longer able to hunt or walk the woods. There has been only one bear sighting in this city in many years. Everything I need a handgun to do, .38 Special does nicely.

Taken from the Book of Browning:

Chapter 1
1. In the beginning God created the .45Colt and He saw that it was good.

2. But He realized that the world was full of evil and the .45Colt was slow to reload. So He anointed and inspired His prophet, John Moses Browning, to create the .45Automatic Colt Pistol cartridge and its delivery system, the 1911. And God saw that it was good and that His children could now defend themselves more effectively against evil.

10mm of course.

Me too. Because it is an efficiency optimized .45acp. Oooodles more ft-lbs m.e. than its near neighbors, and more magazine capacity than .460 Rowland.

I look it the full house 10mm this way: It is the largest cartridge, that when loaded to optimum pressure, is not too much for a standard size all steel 1911.

Small auto pistol: .40 S&W. Because it is the largest cartridge that can be chambered in a small pistol. The full house .40 Underwood yields same m.e. as Underwood 45acp +P.

Micro pistol: 9mm. Not exciting, but such are micro size.

Larger than standard pistol: .460 Rowland. Not very easy/comfortable to carry, but this cartridge is equivalent to the 45 acp loaded to optimal efficient pressure levels.

Yes, shot placement is critical, but if most of my shots will not land in tiny, central vital portion of the threat, I want the shot to have more than eh oomph.

My favorite is the 45 ACP, because 230 grains and bigger holes.
I also have a 357 magnum stainless revolver which has its own benefits.

 

[Amishman44]

For many years it was a .357 magnum revolver...I cc'd a 2.25" Ruger SP101 in .357 magnum for nearly 10 years.

Then I switched to 357SIG and carried a Glock 33 for about 7 years.

Since 2012, it's been the .45 acp...which is still probably my favorite overall CC caliber...but lately I've been playing around with .45 Colt round...which, in +P format...is quite a hoot to shoot!

 

[ukcats]

I like them all! But, I very much want a M&P 2.0 Compact chambered in .357sig.

 

[STCM(SW)]

The 38 Spl & 44 Spl are the ones I shoot the most...
But, boy do I like a .452 in ACP or Colt for doing anything.
Always a big hole!

.38/.357 followed by the 9. If cost wasn't an issue, the .40 S&W would be in second place.

With you all the way other than cost of .40 You can always buy.40 range ammo at Wal-Mart in Florida for no more than a buck or two from 9mm.. All day every day . Other states maybe not

22lr because it's fun and cheap. Nothing like shooting 1000 rounds all day with no fatigue for $40.

Well by default I guess it must be .38, as that caliber fits more guns that I have. Six dedicated thirty eights and 4 .357s makes it my most popular round.
