This is more of a curiosity question than anything. The title may even be a misnomer.
Why is there the desire of some shooters to have revolvers which handle typical pistol rounds? An example is a revolver capable of shooting .45 ACP or even 9mm.
Then I have seen post of others wanting a pistol capable of handling .357 Magnum.
I am sure there are other examples.
I have not shared these desires; although I readily admit I could be missing out. The versatility of a firearm capable of handling both is obvious. Also the versatility of reducing calibers to reload is another possibility.
Are there other more obscure reasons such as ballistics?
There are also similar uses of rifle rounds and handgun rounds, but I will restrict my question to just handguns. I will also steer clear of rim fire rounds.
