I've wanted a .380 since watching Harlem Nights. Shame a Colt 1903 clone doesn't exist.
What calibers do you like anons?

>32 ACP

I don't have one currently, but it's .357.
.308 is a close second.
I like big feeling calibers that are easy to shoot.

I have a .30-30 and love it, it's really all I'll ever actually need (hunting rifle wise), but man I really think .35 Remington is cool.

.40 and .45 because I’m not a mindless Reddit sheep, or a female police officer.
>>
>>65180300
I like just about every caliber; most of them are useful or nifty in their own way.
But my favorites are probably 7x57 Mauser, 30-06, 22lr, and .32acp.

2, or three of those are sort of novelty fun rounds for me. Don't shoot 'em much (the .41mag was the first pistol I ever bought, so sentimental) and the .44 Special stays at my dad's house in the night stand because he likes it. Really though, the only thing that matters to any shooter is finding something you like. I personally like stuff that has a fairly wide range of versatility, so most of my faves are pretty standard old-school fare. The only real exception is the .444, which I use specifically for about 3 weeks every year during elk season when they are in the brush. The .300WM goes for the rest of that season when the terrain is a lot more open. '06 or .308 for everything else and the .12ga Super is great for geese in steel-shot-only restricted reserves (also flings a shitlooad of buckshot for home security purposes).

>Shame a Colt 1903 clone doesn't exist
Just buy an old Colt 1903? They were really popular back in their day, and they're still around, lots of them left (and also in Europe, where FNH made it as their 1908). You can still get one in decent condition for an agreeable price, and in either caliber.

>What calibers do you like anons?
I kind of like most of them. Questions of caliber is primarily application, and then you weigh that against preferences.

>>65182953
If I just put a stiffer spring in it can I shoot hard cast buffalo bore out of it no problem? Or will the slide crack?
>>
>>65181013
It came after the fact because LEO bought into 41 magnum as a car stopper and couldn't handle it.

>Whomstve
I know for a fact Amarillo Police department issued them with full house loads. It was very "effective" based on the first hand account I heard.

.40 cal is honestly pretty American. We have a long history of using it and I don't think many other countries did aside from the 43 craze that hit Europe in the 1850s infantry rifles.

>>65180314
You MUST have a rimfire or 12 gauge fir hunting purposes. I'd like to shoot squirrels with fart loaded 32 but the laws are what they are.

Plus birds need shotguns.
>>
>>65180300
My cartridge list is pretty minimalist now that I've downsized.

>22lr
Bobcat on down. CCW
>5.7x28
There could be Yakubians CCW. Coyotes. Deer (where legal). Home defense pistol tbqhwy.
>5.56
Deer to elk, black bear.
>.375 H&H
Elk to Elephant.
>12 gauge
Birds/ trap.

I'm probably going to add 500 S&W and a .54 cal musket next.

Potentially, but why push your luck? It's an antique, you aren't gonna fucking carry the thing are you?
