Which do you carry most often

[FirebirdV8]

Where is the 10mm listed? I usually carry a 40 but, I would like to carry the 10mm, however the good self defence ammo is hard to find.

Because there will be more powder in the .38 Special case that there will be in a 9MM Luger case.

Is that why the 9mm cartridge consistently has a higher muzzle velocity, AND exhibits greater muzzle energy over the .38 special (+p) cartridge? Not to be rude, or out of line, but has anyone else ever mentioned that you can tend to be a dick when the 9mm round is brought up?? It seems you find a way to make people feel inadequate for carrying/shooting/owning a caliber that YOU may not care for. Guess what I carry??? Yup, 9mm or a .38special. Depending on the mood I guess. Please tell me to my face that i am ignorant. No buttons pushed here, just pointing out a simple fact.

Nine choices listed and none of them are 9mm?

Make mine a 9mm, most often.

Speaking of ignorant!! Anybody that knows anything about guns and ammo knows that you can't fill either one of those two cartridges completely full of smokeless powder and shoot them without blowing your gun up and probably injuring yourself, that is if youn don't kill your fool self, and others around you.
