Best pistol caliber?

[slap shot]

I like my pistol calibers like I like my women. 38 and special

In that case I’m going with .22 short.

 

[cockpitbob]

We need to create a .47 caliber for him then too.

I've been waiting for someone to shorten the 45-70 into a 45-47. I'd pay money just for the brass so I could cut it down on the lathe to make a lapel pin that says 45-47.

ETA: During his first term there were staffers in DC with lapel pins made from 45ACP brass. They wore them as sort of a secret handshake at the bars.

. 357 sig

45GAP
The prank that got out of hand

 

[Golddiggie]

475 Linebaugh IS a pistol caliber.

 

[Sf Becket]

sure you don't want to step down to .32 ACP there lil feller?

No sir

 

[Golddiggie]

Isn't that what the ladies call you??

Once a lady called me 12 inches.

Took 6 tries but I proved her right.

Platform matters more than caliber.

9mm yeet cannon, or 9mm P226 XFive.
10mm G29 or 10mm P220.
7.62x39 Hertzer whatever the eff, or 7.62x39 also crappy AK platform.

Nothing says sex appeal like a flobert.

Where is 357 Sig?

In the closet.

Bond, James Bond...

His PPK was .32. Sniff

 

[Tim_McD]

Whilst I don’t resemble the Bubba picture associated with the cartridge…I do love me some .357 magnum

The earth-shattering kaboom from a stoutly loaded round is just good ol’ fashioned fun. The ability to fire of some more economical 38 Spl is a bonus, too

 

[chris_1001]

.50 BMG

I want to shoot that!!!!!

I’m one of the NES wrist breakers club members

And my vote is for .460.

I’ve shot most calibers and I think the .460 was the snappiest

 

[whacko]

45acp for the win.

I'd hit it.

I’m not a fan of balls. But good on you!

Oh. Name checks out! lol.

Um...in my defense inwas under the impression the 44 round was reffing to her tits

I’m partial to 22 and short.

Can’t trust tits these days…

Might find a surprise down low. Lol.

All good.

Load dependent. Or maybe the comp'd barrel my buddy had made it very manageable.

in any case, my buddie's X-frame comp'd 8" barrel shooting these felt less snappy than his Colt 1911 in .45 ACP. He hyped it up, offering me a leather shooting glove to soften the recoil. I was expecting pain and struggling to keep the barrel down. Instead, It was easy to hit my shot and follow-up shots. I assume some of the heavier 250 grain, 260, 275, and 300 grain loads are monsters.

I’ve literally shot most every caliber.

If you think a .460 is less snappy than a .45acp something is up

Granted I shot the .460 from a single action non ported BFR

I have slow-mo on my phone of me attempting to catch the projectile in 5 lined up gallon milk jugs of water. 200 grains at 1800 fps said "nope"

It's this, the 460 XVR

 

[chris_1001]

And this is me shooting a well known members .500 mag that felt softer than the .460. Go figure

 

[Agnotology]

I gotta be honest, I hate the ported big bores. The concussive blast to the shooter, and anyone within 30 feet of the shooter is as bad as the bubba'd tank brake mosin @kingson has at his MG shoots. I was around that damn thing all day, and I still jumped every time it shot, and this was the second time.

 

[Qwikdraw45]

I would have said 9mm or .357 (I really like .45 Colt), but...when pictured like that, I'd love me some .45acp.

45-70, exactly what @Broc Tuah was shooting when I met him!

Him? Hmmm. Didn't seem to match the description in the "What do you look like" thread.

The surefire socom brake is arguably the worst brake for others

The one on this SW is the worst one for everyone. I have no idea what it is based on, apart from pain. You feel the shockwave hit your entire body.

Where is 357 Sig?

Too snappy for all the "limpwristers" on here........
