I will carry a plain-Jane Colt 1911A1 in a Kholster IWB hybrid tuckable holster for ease of use and maximum concealment, or a Ruger P95 double stack 9mm in a similar holster, depending on my needs at the moment. I often have my Mauser HSC 380 at my ankle as a backup, or as primary in a custom...

I have used Tommy' Gun Pack (tommysgunpack.com) for many years. Best made, quietest to deploy, easiest to use.

" Several million rounds a day all total. ATK group is producing around 7-8 million rounds per day. To put that into perspective that would be 8000 100 round boxes." ...Looks like you are off by a factor of 10. But what's nought between friends?

Suppressed 10-22? My 10-22 Carbine is the only firearm I use without ear protection. Even with hyper-velocity ammo I do not feel the need. My Colt New Frontier Buntline (7" bbl) .22 is a different story. I need my muffs on to shoot it with standard velocity .22, to say nothing of 22WMR.

Go retro If budget is a problem and reliability is primary (as it should be) -- I carry a Mauser HSC in 380. Beautiful firearm, smaller than most current models (and heavier, being all steel), with rounded corners and good sights. Should be able to find one well under $300 somewhere.

Sounds to me like a buyer who realizes that the seller knows bupkiss about .22lr ammo and thinks "long rifle" has to go in a rifle.

Taking it a little further... The area of a circle is pi X the radius (1/2 the diameter)squared, so the area of the 9mm is 3.1416 X .177 squared (.0316). Thus, 9mm = .0989 sq.inch. .45 cal diameter = .1597 sq. inch. So the area (size of the hole) of the .45 is 1.6X the area of the 9mm...

Close, but no cigar. Let me take a stab at it... That's not correct. What that's showing is that .0990 = 61% of .1605. So, what that really means is that .1605 is 39% larger than .0990. For .1605 to be 61% larger, the other number would have to be .06259 (39% of .1605). You subtract 61%...
