Where is the 10mm selection?

Admittedly, I'm a bit of an oddball. I shoot 9x23win instead of .38super because its easier to load for, and holds more in the mag than .357sig.

Main piece = Glock 20 - 15 round mag
Backup piece = Glock 19 - 15 round mag keeps round count simple if/when zhit gets real.
 
Love the 45 in my TP45 and Sig 220, but have been warming greatly to the 9mm in my XDM. Not just capacity, but also the wonderful new bullets/loads out the last number of years. Ballistics is such a wonderful science!
 
9mm affordable, capacity, with good self defense rounds like federal hst available at a reasonable price it's hard to beat
 
Nobody voted 22LR? Crazy talk...

If SHTF, my Marlin model 60 is what I'm walking out with....and one of my 9mm pistols.

.45acp as it’s what I first learned to shoot and appreciate it’s cartridge. But I do tend to like the 9mm very much.
 
I used to be all about the .45... but once I started shooting 9mm, due to economic reasons, (4 people in household all shooting) I really started to like it. Now 9mm is about all I carry and shoot. Every once in awhile I feel nostalgic and carry a .45, and of course I have a nuclear launching 10mm for when I really want to have fun. But day to day it is a 9

I use to like 44 mag. Why because that was the preferred hand gun of Dirty Harry

Yeah but he carried a 44 special light load for more control. Think that was in Magnum Force, ill have to watch it now that I spoke of it.
