I wish I could say it does not matter what the caliber, because it used to not matter, I could buy what interested me. times have changed. Because of injuty to my hand I am much more recoil adverse than I once was. In my profession I cannot afford to have my hand out of operation, so I have been shooting some of my smaller calibers. My last purchase was one of the Berreta 81s.
I can still shoot some of the larger calibers, .45acp is my favorite, but a magazine full and I am done with shooting it for the session. Needless to say, the large calibers boomers do not get out at all any more unless my son is going with me. in fact I am contemplating actually getting rid of the .44 and .41. I can still shoot .38 out of the .357s so they will stay.
Reloading is not the fun it once was, a few cranks on the handle and my hand cries "uncle". but I have found that shooting the .22s and .38s and now the .32acps are a lot of fun. It is not as much fun to just order a few hundred rounds of .22 or .32, and it hurts my soul to order .38s, but better to order and save my hand for what is ultimately important.
I just cannot see buying any more large bore pistols anymore. they would just sit in my safe and be sad.
