7.62x39 cause it is all I got

9mm cause it is all I got

Pretty cut dry and simple there. I do plan on expanding a little this year though.

Is it me, or are people listing cartridges and not calibers? As far as cartridges go, I guess if I had to choose it'd be 9x19 simply because there's no way I could conceal a rifle cartridge handgun but I could hunt with the 9mm if required.

Most of my interaction with firearms is in the form of concealed carry, so that's my #1 priority.

If they became wildly popular, I'd quickly shift my vote to 10mm or 9x23 Winchester.

Nuff said here, but I enjoy .45 and wheel gun calibers as well (pretty much all of em from 22lr, on up to 45-70) (side note, never shot a wheelie in anything bigger than 44 mag, but I want to!)

40. Just because y'all all hate it. That leaves more for me and my 3 40 cal pistols. Heck I've even shot 40 cal out of my Glock 29.

Ah, I see what you did there. I assumed he meant cartridges. But, if he is talking g about caliber, its hard to beat the .30 as there is such a spectrum of power levels. Everything from subsonic 300 blackout to the insane 300 Remington ultra mag

Can't tell after I shoot them.

Rifle for versatility and distance- .308 is all I've got on hand. Everything else is a light weight .22 cal.

Rifle for fun of reloading and the interest it draws at the range- .221 Fireball. Really neat little thing.

Reloadable Pistol... 9mm if I've got to carry any amount of it. .45ACP if I don't.

Rimfire Pistol... I absolutely enjoy shooting my MK IIs and MK III Lite (suppressed) more than anything else. It's just not a very versatile round for anything tougher than a coke can or tougher than a rabbit. Not to mention the problems with getting the rabbit to hold still for a second.
