Favorite Caliber?
I have just started shooting Handguns again, 911 was a wakeup call , My first handgun was a Erma pistol in a 380 ACP, shot alot with it in the 1980's, before, and moved up to Berreta 13 round 380 automatic, Pre Brady. So my reference to handgun was limited. These were the weapons I used for home protection for 20 years. Over the years Colt Trooper III, a Single Six, LLama 38 special. With in the three years, I have used a Springfield XD 9mm and a XD40. I like them both, but perferred the 3" 9mm XD for home use. The XD40(4") found a new home, with my brother as a gift. Hated to see it go, but I had choice one for home protection.
I have been handgun Hunting for a several (5) years , which started with a 357 Blackhawk, I like the SA over DA revolvers, Next purchase Blackhawk 41 magnum, latest purchase a Ruger SRH 454, a bargain I could not pass up. The way I come into the handguns is usually by accident, not looking to purchase a new gun, just fall into a good deal. I have never sold any handguns I have purchased, they all have a place in my heart and I do shoot each during the year.
With all the cailbers I own, I guess I can say the my most favorite caliber is:
41 MAGNUM - Ruger Blackhawk 6 1/2 with BSquare scope mount with a red dot sight. Sweet round, but limited choices in bullets
The 454,
, has been a bit to much for my small hand and frame,:banghead: but I am working out the problems, I will start loading 45 Colt light and work my way up to 454, but I am not sure if this baby is right for me. I think the bargain overrule my common sense. I am working on a trade with my brother, but I have not made up my mind yet!
The other cailbers are fun to shoot, and each has its uses and purposes.
Thanks, Alex

I see no reason to carry a 9mm. My prefernce is a 1911 with a 5 inch barrel.
