Excuse me if this has been beat to death in the past, I did a search and didn't come up with much.
I suffer from caliber confusion, how is it a .45acp is a lighter round than a .44? Math/common sense leads me to believe a .45 is larger, is cart. length difference?
Then there's a .357mag and a .38, seems to me .38 is larger than .357?
Then there's a .357sig?
What's the difference between a .38 and a .380?
I know the .357sig and .380 are auto rounds why a new cart. designation for an automatic?
These are only a few examples of the many, am I just wasting time trying to make sense of any of it? Any light someone could shed would be great.
