Just plain ole 9mm. First gun was a GLOCK 19 on my 21st birthday. With ammunition being considerably less expensive than 40 SW or 45 ACP I was able to shoot early and shoot often and become really comfortable with my gun. I could also put follow-up shots on target quickly and wasn't immediately intimidated as a first-time gun owner by the "stout" recoil of a 45 ACP round. I think 9mm is a great way to go for a first gun for a lot of people. I'd currently love to have a GLOCK 23, but I'd say loan payments need to come before other guns.

My first gun was a 44 lever rifle...I had no idea what I was getting myself in to. I ended up trading it for a Walther PK380, which was more suitable for learning on!

Mines .40 S&W... M&P Pro w/ APEX Tactical FSS & Trigger, love it!

 

[EvilKidsMeal]

.40 S&W, Glock 23. Love it. fits like a glove.

I also carry .380 in a Ruger LCP.

i switch between the two depending on attire or wear i'm going, and sometimes carry both at the same time.

i went with .40 purely for personal choice. and then the LCP obviously for extreme concealability

40 s&w for everyday

 

[Jdalton765]

.40 smith and wesson, it was kind of an impulse buy, the price just seemed perfect to me, but i actually wanted a 9mm XD

 

[ZbornacSVT]

.357sig here

 

[Arickosmo]

.45 in a Glock 36. I got hooked on 1911's a while back and bought G36 for a "truck" gun when I go out west. I haven't picked up the 1911 in a while except to show it off. (Dan Wesson CBOB)

Glock 26 (9mm)
Glock 36 (.45 )
Both easy to conceal and ultra reliable.

.357 Sig in a Glock 32. Best carry cartridge on the market!

125 gr. bullet doing 1450 out of 4 in. barrel is as good as it gets. It will go through hard barriers with ease but still expands and doesn't over penetrate in soft targets. Shoots like a laser out to 100 yards, and still hits with the same Ballistics as a 9mm luger at point blank. All that performance with a small frame grip and still less recoil then the .40 s&w. Why choose anything else?!

SA A-1 45 cal. (read below) George knows best,

 

[WOLFEMAN]

Any caliber cartridge beats a knife or baseball bat every time!

 

[jdgdigger]

I carry a XD40 subcompact. When attire won't permit concellment of the XD i carry a Bersa 380.

 

[farmerdan]

40 cal for me. Glock 27, sometimes I do carry my taurus mill pro 145

 

[cigarman454]

Other being 10mm

 

[dlbrown75]

45 for one shot.

 

[JOLLYKART]

I just think the 40 SW is much more efficient if the need arises.
