The only one I have is the one I'm voting for by default: .22lr.

I do have a 9 mm on my wish list.

I have the most fun with my 44 mag. I handload for it, so it can be loaded with really light loads to full power loads, and everything in between.

I have a friend who bought a revolver that shoots a 45 and a 410 shotgun shell. I have never heard of that before.

Would it by any chance be a Taurus Raging Bull? They make many models that shoot both.

410 shells??!!
Not likely, it's a S&W 625 designed for IPSC.

Well, I have a .22, a 9 mm, and a .357 that just got here a week ago and I haven't shot it yet (my first wheel gun, a Ruger GP-100 in SS with the 4.2" barrel).....I'm thinking that the .357 may get the nod once I get it out to the range. Till then, 9mm


I do have a .45 on my wish list though......

I've got a .45 auto and a 10mm, both 1911's. I'm going to lean towards the 10mm, because I tend to favor the underdog

Looks like that but twice the size, and yes it will shoot 45 and 410 shotgun shells.

I have a Ruger single action .22lr and a .22 mag. cylinder. Its a lot of fun to shoot.

Also have a double action S&W .357 mag.

My .44 rem mag. shoots that "pistol cartridge" from a Ruger carbine rifle.

I realize the Judge will, but not the 625.

7.62X25 because it is cheap to shoot, and puts out a nice muzzle bast when fired. Followed closely by .22 because it is cheap to shoot.

I also like my 40 cals and my 45acp. My 9mm are also nice, but just don't have the same feel of power compared to the larger calibers.

I plan to get into Black powder next.
