@Pizzabob, I agree, 44spl is a lot of fun!
I especially like that blue 4" 24 on the left.

You know I have shot at least a few rounds out of a HUGE diversity of calibers. Not all of them of course but a big chunk.

That said even though I have shot .44 Magnum.....I don’t think I have ever fired a single round of .44 special.

Thanks. The 4" 24-3 is actually the rarest of the 24-3's with 2625 produced. The 3" Lew Horton Distributor specials usually bring more money, but there were 5000 of them made.

The top left gun is a converted Model 28 using model of 1950 barrel. I had it done in the early 70's by George Matthews of Downey, CA.

Adios,

.327 fed mag. The likable thing is versatility in loads it fires. I have loads I can watch the bullet fly in 32 S&W cases up through the Feds that are quite powerful enough.

I may have cited a chambering more so than cartridge. For that I’ll apologize and offer up a .40 S&W if the 327 is improper. The 40 has not lost its shine while the 9 was acquiring a shine. I’ve inventoried plenty of fodder for the various guns chambered for it.

I'll go with .45 Colt. It's big and every fired round makes me feel like John Wayne.

Favorite pistol to shoot it from, 1911 then HK MK23!

45ACP forever!

Going by what I own it’s 22lr, 357/38 then 357Sig. I settled on these three (4) calibers years ago. There really isn’t space between them, they’re all that good. Having semi autos, revolvers and long guns in 22lr is awesome as is having revolvers and long guns in 357/38. If I could find a long gun in 357Sig I’d sure like to get that as well.

9mm. And I like it best in a SIG P226, M&P or Glock 17.

9mm in Sig P226. I also like shooting my Ruger SR 22. I pretty much shoot all calibers. Mostly for fun. 44 special in my Ruger Super Redhawk.

9mm Nato... Honestly, but shot from an HK MP5 , 3 shot burst is more satisfying because of success with hits.
Full auto is a deluxe Carnival tho.
I did both modes shooting at a Full Auto rental and promotion at my Club's Indoor range.

45 ACP for me. I shot a metric ton of it in IPSC competition and a 1911 is my bedside companion.

This is my favorite, too.
.327 Fed. Magnum can create a big boom, or a small one. Hot-medium-mild, it performs much better than you think a .32 should.
So flexible in terms of loading.

I really like reloading the .44 special.
Soft shooting, accurate and is chambered by my favorite handguns... revolvers!

I love autos too and other calibers, I enjoy the .44 the most

I like 9mm, really only for cost and availability.

A fun round is the .22TCM, makes a pretty muzzle flash when it goes off.

This has become my new favorite. I have three guns right now and will add more. It's so flexible and fun to shoot. I have several different forms of 32 but have only shot the 85gr and 100gr Federal JSP.

I have never tried .327 but I could see me liking it for both the magnum rounds and the versatility of the other rounds guns chambered in it can fire.

.22 LR. It's inexpensive to shoot, there is little recoil or noise. It is pretty accurate, it doesn't damage steel and there is no need to pick up the brass at most places. It's just fun.
