My V-8's are 10mm. The .40 wins carry duty due to size of the guns.
I've seen grown men shot dead by 22 LRs and minimally inconvenienced by 41 mags, complaining of a headache after being shot in the back of the head with a 25 acp and everything in between. Your job is placement, the projectile's is kinetic energy transfer. Algebraically, 2 variables are not too complex, but introduce a third and you're into serious mathematics. I figure the larger the projectile, the fewer variables from that aspect; if I can reliably place a 22 but not a 45, I'd better stick with what works for me. If the job calls for a range of calibers, use whatever is in the range. One solution to all this is to have them all available: use them enough & they will become second nature. I haven't acquired a 40 yet, but I have a couple of gallons of brass, and when I hit about one more gallon, it will become necessary to get the 40 so the brass is not wasted. I'm leaning toward the Glock 22 right now...
