45 ACP has always been my favorite & I have the most pistols to launch them out of, BUT, I'm really liking the 45 Colt that I've just started getting into- last week shooting around sun up it was about 30 degrees out & I don't have another pistol caliber that I can load, shoot, & unload with gloves on-love those big bullets.
I'd have to say I agree with you completely.357 magnum. As a child my primary deer rifle was a 357 magnum marlin. As I got older I got multiple pistols all in 357 magnum. It was also the 357 magnum that was with me when it came time to defend my life. I like all calibers but I trust the 357 magnum because it has been the one that saved me and provided food for my family.
About 1/2 my guns are 357 magnum
