Tough question.. the .38/357 option is tough to not like, but big slow boolits get any job done with less fuss, and lots of daylight transfer.
.45 Colt over the 45 ACP due to the greater versatility.

Favorite revolver cartridge is the Red Headed Stepchild. Otherwise called the 41 Magnum.

I carry my G19 for work and travel; but, probably shoot more rounds out of my G23 as it is my IPSC gun and pratice with it for the game. A plus is that other than a bigger bore it the same gun. So shooting it is like practicing with my 19.
I mainly use 38spl in a s&w 686 for Issf centre fire matches but I loved my 45 1911 I parted with it when the gun laws toughend up in australia.
I shoot a LOT of cast 9x19.
It's just hard not to choose a 45 acp. It is strong, and accurate, but does not take your hand off when shooting it.
Been really happy with the .45ACP. It's big enough that I can handle it with my two left thumbs.
10 mm is absolutely my favorite.

Many answered incorrectly. This was not about your favorite caliber but the one you shoot the most.
The responses do not mirror what I see at ranges and competitions.

.38 Special. I shoot it slightly more often than .45acp.

Free 10mm brass you say...where is it? Im on my way!
I was one of the few that voted for .40 S&W because thats what I shoot the most of. My favorite loads are a 180gr projectile moving +1000fps.
I would have voted 10mm but I shoot more 40 on a regular basis just because of the cost of 10mm brass. Alot of the 40 I shoot does get shot out of my Glock G20 though.
Same here. To get the same level of accuracy out of my 9mm pistols, I have to load it hotter. So my light .40 S&W target loads feel the same as my hotter, accurate 9mm loads.
So I shoot .40 S&W more. Love my 10mm G29, but shoot it the least, but carry it the most, ironically, since it is my woods gun.

I've loaded 357 mag for revolvers and rifles, up loaded down loaded and you can carry a lot of it easily what's more versatile?
It’s so subjective, and changes over time. I like them all. Right now I’d have to say .45 Colt, but that could change next month.
