9mm, 40S&W, 45ACP

47 and shoot 40 s&w, it is very easy to find and I like something for ccw and all around woods carry in Michigan, I feel it it's better for woods carry than 9mm and as good for ccw as 45.

60 here. My favorite carries are.
1. 9mm
2. 38Spl +p
3. 40 S&W

I don't own a .45acp. I qualified with them when I was in the military, but didn't really shoot them well. Maybe in todays guns I would be better, but I can do whatever I need with what I already have.
 
I am 52 - old school life long 1911 fan but with prices on everything
thru the roof today i only carry 2 calibers of ammo, 9mm and 556
so i switched from 45acp`s in the line up to 9mm`s, they are cheaper
to train/shoot more often and easier/lighter for everyday carry ccw

S/A Loaded 1911-9mm
Citadel 1911-9mm
Sig P226-9mm TACOPS w/20 rd mags
Kahr CW9 - 9mm
 
45 yrs old and favorite is 40S&W. My reasons are handgun size vs caliber and ammo price. My duty gun and off duty gun are 40S&W. My HD is a 45acp and my competition gun is 9mm. If I was limited to one it would be 40S&W.
 
9mm for me. I haven't owned a .45 yet and .40 is too snappy for my liking. I found with every 40 I was just trying to reload it lighter to be more like a 9. I wised up and just said "I'm a nine guy".

Oh, and I'm 27 btw.
 
how do these get started?

I am soon to be fitty two. I just picked up a 9mm P yesterday but my favorite is .44 Auto Mag which aint on your list.
 
Age?

.45 ACP. 68 years old.
I shoot a lot of Bullseye matches. I need a .45 to do that. I do not need either of the others if I have the .45.
I own a 9mm; don't shoot it much. The .40 that I shoot occasionally is a wildcat based on the .45 ACP (400 CorBon).

Well I'm back into the 9mm now, figured it couldn't hurt to have a 9mm around.

So I'm 33 y/o and shoot all three (in addition to others not listed).
 
54 and I only got a 9mm out of the 3 listed and also carry at time but not listed for a pocket gun is P32 .I like wheel guns better.but not for carry.Like I can the 9mm and the 32acp.
 
Yes, age has nothing to do with it (LOL).

Well I have been a 9mm fan since 1969 (BHP) up until 2004 when I switched to 45 ACP then in 2007 bought two 40 S&W's, then sold the 40's off and bought two 45 ACP's then 2009 back to 9mm (PT-92) and then 2012 another 9mm (CZ 75 P-01).

Right now the 45 ACP is on my hip. but I use the 9 mm on the night stand and probably shoot it the most (And best).

So I don't know, but I would say it depends on which way the wind is blowing on any particular day.

So yes age has a lot to do with it.

I'm 65, I've 4 full size 1911, a model 625 .45APC, several model 10's, several model 36's & 637's & 638's all 38Spl's, several model 19's, .357's, and a model 60 .357 w/ a 3" barrel.
 
11 days shy of 30 and 9mm, although I'd like to get to know the .45 a little better.

I tried 40. 9mm follow ups are so much faster and more accurate for me.

My favorite handgun caliber out of those listed is the .45acp. It is what I like the most as far as over all utility goes. I carry a 5" 1911 .45acp. I look down upon 9mm for its SLIGHT impededence on performance compared to others. I have the capability to cleanly take game with my carry gun out to 40yds if I had to. In a survival situation if you lose your handgun and all you have is your carry gun, you may need to get food with it
