Which Caliber Would You Keep?

[bilboben]

Since you are going to start reloading, keep all three, reload the 45 and 40, buy the cheap 9mm ammo. Get a 357sig barrel and reload them as well. This way you are covered for all situations in the shtf scenario.

Buy a 22 for practice.

I got rid of my .40 years ago and decided to stick with 45acp and 9mm.
I haven't looked back. I just don't see a need for the .40 anymore, it's too damn snappy on recoil and buying another caliber bullet is just dumb.

Aside from that, a good hollow point 9mm (gold dot/ Ranger/ etc..) is going to be just as good as any .40 out there in a HD situation.

That makes absolutely no sense at all...

Yeah it's kinda the opposite of consolidating calibers.

Well, you might sell them both and get a Glock .40 with a 9mm barrel and a .22 barrel.

I found this thread about 10mm and I am convinced that I wont need a .40 ever again....

If Chuck Norris carries a 10mm then so the hell will I. thread here on glocktalk.com

You didn't include 10mm in the mix. If you did, I'd have to say keep it. You can load it from very mild .40 levels to just short of .41 Magnum potential. I won't own a .40 again, but I don't intend to ever be without a 10mm.

.40 is just 10mm shortened. Heck you can shoot .40 in a 10mm revolver

 

[z06man]

Yes, but 25% more powder and 10% higher max pressure, make a significant difference in performance.

Keep the 9 and 45. Ditch the 40.
