I am going to take a guess and say a 38 or a 45.

 

[Pikachu711]

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.

 

[schwaa]

9mm
.45
.357
.380
.40

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

 

[pirate]

Most popular but not best order:

1. 9mm
2. .38 sp
3. .357
4. .45
5. .380

 

[MNBurl]

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.

[ccwguy]

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.

 

[Rugergirl]

Yeah, I remember that poll. It was the one that didn't list .44 Magnum:blink:

 

[Superheat]

My two cents...

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

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:
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.

 

[ccman]

The one you got in your gun.

 

[jumpwing]

Probably 9mm and .40 are the top two.

 

[gottabkiddin]

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

 

[Keltyke]

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.

 

[EW3]

Based on (non) availability, I will say:

.380
9mm

I believe most 1911 guy's leave there man gun in the safe because its too heavy...

Ummmm me no thinks so:comeandgetsome: Every day all day.

The most popular bullet diameter.

I'd say the .38 class of bullets is most popular because it covers the 9mm, .38 Special and 357 Magnum.

Then maybe the .45 bullets with the .45ACP leading the pack there.

Followed by the .40 caliber bullets.

:yup: Me too.

 

[purwater]

Mine is .380 and .40.

Poll results are here, and sorry about not having .44 on there at first...I'm forever on Rugergirl's blacklist for that one :frown:

There have been more results while I'll recompile when I can, but with 140 responses (asking people for their primary carry only, and if they have more than one, to choose one):

9mm: 49 (35%)
.45: 40 (29%)
.40 S&W: 22 (16%)
.38 Special: 12 (9%)
.380 ACP: 9 (6%)

For me, I'm primarily a .380 due to lifestyle, but also occasionally manage a 9mm, and am working on carrying a .45 more regularly.

 

[Ram Rod]

The one you got in your gun.

I can't shoot any holes in that answer. Let's go with it. Yeah....I remember that poll as well.
