What handgun calibers are you shooting regularly (from handguns) these days?

[Dienekes]

Due to a "layoff" (similar to the coyote in the old Roadrunner cartoons), I am getting back up to speed, one day at a time. I have always believed in the .22LR subcaliber option for"big" guns. So at the moment I mostly shoot a Model 18 Smith, a well worn Ruger Standard Auto, and a Smith 15-22. As things improve I'll get back to 9mm, .38 Special, and 5.56.

"We've all got it coming, kid."

.22 and 9MM almost every range visit.

Either .40 or .45 about half the time. I was on a .45 kick for a while but getting back to shooting my favorite Glock 23 more these days.

Also shoot revolvers (.38 mainly) time to time...

I want to shoot 22 more,
But it’s no fun with a single action revolver, the rate of malfunctions with various semi autos pistols, conversion kits, carbines etc, gets old.

That's what I decided about .22 LR years ago and I sold my last one. (A 10/22)

.22 in a single-action revolver is so slow to reload it eats into the fun.
.22 in double action revolver requires a heavy pull to set off primers. Makes them difficult to shoot well and less gun. Or you have misfires.
.22 in the majority of semi-auto rifles and pistols has it's share of malfunctions, duds, they get dirty fast and if not cleaned will have more malfunctions.
.22 in lever action rifle and pump rifles (I've never fired a pump .22) isn't too bad. There will be some bent-up ammo at some point, though.

.22 rimfire is at it's best in bolt action rifles, single shot rifles, and in those very few full-size semi-auto pistols that run well (for a .22) on quality ammunition. Some of the Ruger's and Beretta's namely. Especially with suppressors.

I haven't owned a .22 rimfire firearm in many years and don't miss them at all. If I were God .22 LR would be as popular as .22 Short is today and in it's place would be .25 acp. Ballistics would be the same but reliability much higher.

1. 9mm
2. 38 spl
3. .22 lr

This is a shift based on recent purchases. A Glock 19, a S&W 422 pro, and a Browning Buckmark.

My gotos are typically .45ACP, .41 RemMag, and .22 lr.

9mm, .22, .38/.357 and .44M I was loading for the wheel guns but don't shoot them enough to bother. I loaded all of my components for them and had can fulls of ammo, down to a few .50 cans full. I would turn my son loose with them and he would shoot until he was bored. Never loaded 9mm, fortunate not to have to. I keep my pistol shooting time extremely directed towards core skills.
