I currently have to keep up with 5 different sizes(6 if you include .357 for the wheel gun), all of which are easy to procure when ammo is not in such short supply, and the various ways I have to shoot them. They all work just fine for their intended purposes. The ballistics may be better on some of the new sizes, but not by any degree that would cause me to rush out and buy a whole new platform. For the new owners, by all means do your research and pick what's right for you.

My PERSONAL Rules of crisis hand gunning and shooting.
#1. "If you dont like the damn thing your not going to shoot the damn thing with confidence or worth a shit, buy something you like and it feel good in your hands" (confidence building aka trust)
#2. "If you ever find yourself in a battle or a gunfight, and you dont have any other option, pick it up what you can find and hopefully you haven't been a dickwad and never learned how to operate it" (never stop learning shooting platforms).
#3. "Shoot the threat until the threat stops shooting at you". (Better upright and breathing than horizontal and under unless your in a sniping prone position or you enjoy being the center of attention at your funeral)
... eh those are 3 good ones... I got more...lol...

I never thought about counting my calibers, but here goes (Not counting multiples in same caliber, black powder or "scatter guns"): 7.62, 5.56, .50-140, .22 LR, .22 Short, .44-40, .45 LC, .45 ACP, .44 Mag/Spl, ... I think that's nine (unless I've forgotten one or two). I reload all the center fire caliber and cast my lead bullets for some of them. Life is good!!!

Interesting article SGT (Join to see). I did have to laugh when it came to the .357 Mag. I used to have two wheel guns in that caliber. I love shooting it in the New Model Blackhawk, hated shooting in a SP 101. There is not enough hand grip to handle the recoil in the SP 101, in my humble opinion. I sold the SP 101.
