9mm - already picked that as the chambering for all my pistols (as opposed to my revolvers).
- Lots of effective loadings from factory
- Relatively inexpensive and available
- Can put lots in the gun and more in my pocket (i.e. hi-cap magazines)
- lotsa good, reliable handgun designs in both service pistol and compact sizes, e.g. Glock 17/19, BHP, Sigs, Kel-Tec, Kahr, Rorbaugh, ad infinitum
- Can even get J-frame size revolver in 9mm (used S&Ws, and Taurus and Charter still make them)
- Can get carbines in 9mm if you really want to be fanatical about ammo interoperability (and I have those tendencies...)
- I have a pile of 9mm FMJ on the shelf to shoot with that I bought when I was single and more gainfully employed!
- If 9mm prices ever go up, I have a ton of 9mm brass if I ever need to reload (see previous item).
