I am going to take a guess and say a 38 or a 45.
Array
I'm going to guess that it's in the following order:
(1) 9mm
(2) .357 magnum
(3) .45
(4) .380
The other calibers I'm not too certain.

9mm
.45

.380
.40
What do I win? (i bet we have a poll somewhere here on this, im going hunting)

Most popular but not best order:
1. 9mm
2. .38 sp
3. .357
4. .45
5. .380
When I leave the home port:
S&W 642 Airweight, Ruger SP 101, Colt Detective Spec., CZ RAMI, Kahr PM9, Kahr CW40, S&W Model 10-7, Glock 30, 19, and 26, Browning Hi Power, CZ82, Colt Commander, Dan Wesson PM7, Ruger LCP

My two cents...
1. 38/357 - lots of j-frames out there being carried
2. 9mm
3. 380
4. 45
5. 40

Here is a poll that was run a while back on this site.

Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

Wasn't there a recent poll on this?
If I remember correctly, the last I looked I think 9mm was in the lead, with .45 a close second? Poll may have changed since then.
Array
Yeah, I remember that poll. It was the one that didn't list .44 Magnum

I would switch .380 with .40 there are a lot of police caring .40. I believe most 1911 guy's leave there man gun in the safe because its too heavy... so I would keep .45 at #4 Actually I bet .22 is above .380. well here's my guess:Originally Posted by MNBurl
1. 38/.357 I believe they need to go together.
2. 9mm
3. .40 a lot of cops
4. .45
5. .22 ghetto
6. .380 even though its a 9mm short you can't use them interchangeably.
The one you got in your gun.

Probably 9mm and .40 are the top two.

I'm gonna say 9mm, then .45. Just a guess.

For me, it's:
9mm
.40 S&W
.38 spcl. +p
.380 ACP
I carry the 9mm about 99.9% of the time. I absolutely LOVE the .40 S&W, but it's a difference of 9+1 in .40 S&W and 13+1 in 9mm.
Array
Based on (non) availability, I will say:
.380
9mm

Ummmm me no thinks soI believe most 1911 guy's leave there man gun in the safe because its too heavy...Every day all day.
