Only one...

I like 9mm (cheap ammo)
I love my .45

But if I had to carry only ONE caliber it would be .357.








That way I could sneak in some .38 (cheap ammo):D
 
Well, since you said...

one caliber instead of one cartridge, I'l go .452. That allows revolvers in .45acp, .45LC, .45AR and a variety of 1911s and other semi-autos in .45acp...I could even sneak .45GAP in there if I were so inclined.

If I were limited to one cartridge, it would be .357--J/K/L/N frames, and a Connan 1911-ish semi-auto.
 
.357 without a doubt

It's a do-all cartridge for handguns for both SD and hunting, and performs in carbines as well for a longer shot if the family needed to be fed in a SHTF situation
 
Even though being somewhat new here, I will throw out an opinion. The .357 would be my choice because of the versatility being able to load up and down. From the light loads in the 38 to the heaviest of loads available in the 357. Similiar to the 270 in a rifle load.
 
With the exception of my 37 year old M-60 all of my handguns are .357 Magnum, I don't want or feel the need for anything else.
 
After much thought...

9x19.

Can run it up to +p+, keep it basic at standard pressures, throw it in various SMG, carbines and handguns. For anything other then the biggest game,ie;deer and smaller, it would be able to feed me and protect me.

.357 and .45acp would run close for second.
 
9mm.

I could use it in LOTS of different auto's and also in some revolvers. It wont break the bank to keep stocked up on ammo. And with the new +P+ rounds, I think it would get the job done. not to mention all the other 9mm loadings out there.

If I could only have ONE handgun, I'd chose a .357 revolver, and also shoot .38's out of it.
 
I don't even own one......

and myself would pick a 9mm as I am assuming the current ammo situation (price availability) would remain the same - but would pick a 357 if I hunted with a pistol.

I reload so no doubt my choice is the 44 Magnum.

In this scenario all lesser calibers are really irrelevant.

Do you consider the 45 colt a lesser caliber?

I reload and would have to choose the 45. Can be loaded HOTTER than the 44 mag and as someone else posted, shot in revlover and carbine.

It can be as light as I want or pushed to the extreme.

Of course there are more 44 mag guns as compared to 45 colts that can handle the hotter rounds. But I will take the larger and heavier bullet.

400 gr (.452 dai.) going 1100 fps:eek:

that may not be very comman it is possible. And if i was limited to one caliber it would take up casting:D
