Just curious what types of semi-auto pistol ammo are most popular. If you vote on the poll please also post why you like the ammo type you voted for. If I missed an ammo types vote for other and post which type you like best.

I personally like .40 S&W because it packs quite a punch and it out penitrates .45 cal. rounds. Also it's not insanely expensive like 10mm rounds. :wink:

 

[Gunnutty]

10mm. Very versatile round. It is hard t find in some areas tho.

 

[Ram Rod]

40S&W would have to be my favorite. Matter of fact, I think it's the most accurate handgun cartridge for me. All that being said, I can't even think of shooting 40S&W out of anything but a Glock pistol. The cartridge and the pistols go so well together.

.45 acp for me... 9mm probably runs a close second these days...

 

[gumaro]

I like the 9mm because I have a Beretta 92FS Inox, but I carry the 9mm mak (9x18)

 

[varob]

My semi autos are .40 or .45 I carry them both. Since I could only vote for one, I voted for .45 acp. I'm just an old 1911 guy at heart.

 

[Natureboypkr]

I like all of them except the .22 and the 45 GAP

 

[RETSUPT99]

I like ANY caliber that starts with a "4" and ends with a "5'.:yup:
(I do like 9mm, too!)

opcorn: :beerchug:...

Ram... the S&W 40 M&P will give any glock a run for its money.

Shootout! Polymer Police Pistols

Regardless both are outstand choices for this round!

I like .45 since it is one of the largest common rounds, easy to get and trained on in the military, but I voted for the 10mm since I like having all of the extra power in a similar size round. I would rather not have to worry about a thick jacket, or a sternum being able to redirect a well placed shot harmlessly in a different direction.

 

[Urk 22]

I would definitely say .40, to me it is the happy medium between the 9 mm and the .45!

 

[Extreme Defender]

.45 .40 & 9 in that order!

 

[scgunlover1]

I voted for the .40 cal because I own one. However, I do hope to purchase a .45 in the future and this may change my mind.

 

[Mardet65]

.40 cal for me. Good power, fair price, readly available and fun to shoot. Pretty darn accurate too.

 

[kpw]

10mm, even though I don't currently own one. Something I should rectify soon.

 

[maxwell]

.45 acp

 

[Cuda66]

.45, 9mm, 10mm, .22 would be my favorites...

Least faves would be a tossup between .40 and .45 GAP.

 

[kylebce]

I like anything that goes boom! Shooting is fun stuff.

That said- I thought "Which is most important... 9, 40, 45
Then I thought reasons. 9mm is the most widely used worldwide & has a long history (Think WW2)

.45acp is the most "American" darn it!

.40 is what I carry most of the time. So that was my pick.

 

[JohnD13]

.45acp from my old 1911A1.
