Could we have a thread like this just for fun?
I'll try to be mildly serious, but mostly not serious.
Keep in mind, my statements are barely even supported by rational opinion or urban myth.
My favorite handgun caliber is obviously 22lr, because I shoot way more of it than anything else. I also have a bazillion handguns and rifles chambered in it, and even a tiny revolver the size for a Barbie doll to use. I don't try to use it for SD because the bullet looks so small. I already have several holes in my body bigger than that from a recent surgery.
25 and 32 are okay for killing squirrels or rabbits... or for other people who aren't me to hunt grizzly bears with for all I care. The ammo seems kind of little for big mean two-legged critters. This is purely subjective and based on a data set of nothing.
Most of my SD handguns are chambered in 38 special because I grew up with 38 revolvers and they're easy to shoot. It looks like it would make an okay-sized hole through someone. I keep HP ammunition in them because I usually have some. My preference for 38's is absolutely probably not due to laziness and ignorance on my part. It's way more scienterrific than that.
9mm is fun to shoot, but it has that clangy slide thing that dings my hand sometimes, and things jam it up and you can't shoot it from your pocket or against someone's body. Don't even have any HP ammo for it. BORING. The ammo is from like from 1901 or something. OLD and BORING!
44 and 45 are like 38 special, but they go boom louder, and make your hands go up in the air more, and put slightly larger holes through things. They're more exciting, but a little bit slower to shoot. And really, I'm too lazy to shoot off 10 pounds of gunpowder with every shot, and knock the walls down and everything. Too much trouble.
40 and 45acp are sort of the 44/45 of automatics. They're more boomy and exciting than 9mm and put slightly bigger holes through things. I'm really supposed to load this 10-pound machine with 2 pounds of ammo and have slides flying around and everything? Way too much trouble!
As you can see by my logical and well-supported proof, 38 special is obviously the best SD cartridge in the world, for everyone!
