22LR is the most popoular in my closet.

5 total 3 rifles and 2 pistols.

Next would be a tie between 9MM and 30.06, with two of each.

 

[tlhelmer]

The .40 caliber is the highest at four. It is followed by the 9mm.

 

[rjk2475]

4 12 ga

2 .22lr

2 .357

1 .45

toss up

I would have to say .357. I think I own multiples of almost every caliber. I don't really have a count but I know I have at least a dozen .357 revolvers and one .357 rifle. .22LR would have to be close though, I don't have a count on .22s. Then probably .223/5.56 NATO, I think I have six of those. I probably have around 5-6 9mms, no I take that back, if I count 9mm carbines I have at least 7 9mms. I don't know, but .357 surely takes it for me.

Unpleasantly so, this thread caught me off guard. About to skip on to the next thread, I gave the question some thought.
I realized that I have four 9mm handguns. I then remembered that I don't particularly like 9mms.

I also remembered that I only have two .45acps, my favored handgun cartridge.

I guess I'm a creature of strange habits.


Well, to answer the question, my most common handgun chambering is in .38special.

 

[Glock_17]

1x .22lr
4x 9x19
1x .45ACP

Only handguns so far, but looking for a shotgun!

 

[Blackhawk]

9x19

 

[HS/LD]

I am going to try and make this as accurate as possible:

2x .22
12x 9mm (HKp7/BHP/Glock/HKMp5)
2x .40S&W
1x .45ACP
8x .308 (7.62x51)
4x 12gauge
1x 10gauge (never fired)
1x .30 06
2x 7.62x39
1x .177 (no powder)
2x .44mag
Ok I think that about right...

36 firearms..... that can't be right I must be missing something.

Regards,
HS/LD

I don't own anything that I would consider "common";
every one I own has a purpose, therefore I refer to
them as "speciality weapon's.

[Schuey2002]

The most common among my many "toys" would be .223 for the rifles and 9mm for the handguns..

 

[P12]

1 - 22 rifle
1 - 25 Raven
1 - 380 Llama
1 - 45 Para Ord.
1 - 7.62x39 SKS
1 - 12 gauge (the only S&W that I still own. Hey I'll take it only so far - it was my daddy's gun)

If I have my way, the 45 will pull into the lead. I want a Para LDA in 45 and one in 9mm.

 

[Prodigalshooter]

Looks like 4 in .357, first I was gonna say .22 & 9mm, but only have two in each of those calibers. Looks like I've got my work cut out for me!

 

[triggertime]

Most common would be .45 auto and 9mm.

 

[jiggs]

4-22lr
4-9mm
3-357
various others incl muzzleloaders.

 

[MrKandiyohi]

3 .22's for me.

I have doubles of .38/.357, .30-06, and 12 gauge.

I'm looking for another .22 rifle and possibly a .357 lever action, so I may end up with a tie.

 

[seeker_two]

.22lr & .38spl..

Oldies but goodies...

 

[Slotback]

I have lots o' .40's and a couple of .223s.

 

[ruger357]

.45 auto

 

[Kevinch]

I sorta have mine spread out. Lemme think here:

• .22LR: 3
• .32ACP: 2
• .380ACP: 2
• 9x18: 3
• .357MAG: 2
• .40S&W: 1
• .41MAG: 1
• .44MAG: 1
• .45ACP: 2
• 7.62x39: 1
• .223: 1
• .270: 1
• 12GA: 2

Well, I guess it's a tie between the .22LR & the 9x18. Of course, I haven't bought a gun for about 8 months so who knows....

 

[AR-10]

I have four revolvers chambered for .357 Magnum.

Doubles in several calibers. No 9mm and no .22 handguns. They don't interest me.

 

[Tamara]

Hokay...

Since some folks are doing breakdowns...

2x .44 Magnum
7x .45ACP
1x .41 Magnum
4x .357 Magnum
1x .44 Special
4x .38 Special
2x .32 H&R Magnum
2x 10mm Auto
1x .38-40
1x .22 Magnum
2x .22LR
1x 7.62x38 Nagant
1x .25ACP
1x .40 S&W
2x .32ACP
2x 9x19mm

1x 7.5x54 Swiss
2x 7.62x54R
2x 8x57JS
3x 7.62x51 NATO
1x .300 Whisper
1x 6.5x55
2x .30-'06
1x 7.7x58 Arisaka
1x 12ga
1x .45 Colt
1x .243 Winchester
2x 5.56x45 NATO
1x 7.62x39

Three of these are duplicates. For instance, if you have a .32 ACP cylinder for your Nagant revolver, a 10mm cylinder for your .38-40, or a .22 Mag cylinder for your .22 LR , which caliber is it?
