Rank caliber power
Can you guys run off a ranking of pistol ammo calibers in terms of general consensus of overall power? I'm fairly new to guns and know basics but get a little lost when talking about 357 sig vs 45 ACP vs 44 magnum vs 357 magnum etc...

I'll start, add to my list:

.22LR
.25
.32 ACP
.380
.38
9mm
.357 sig
.40
.45 ACP

Thanks!

Joe

I agree I just was going off my opinion and probably should has prefaced my answer with that.
There are also more metric cals that I know nothing about at all.

good point.

anything between 380 and 10mm is considered a defensive round. but it really doesnt matter if you cant hit anything

+1

Shot placement bests larger caliber any day (But both are nice to have!)
