No one can hit a 2 wood..............................
Just went through the entire collection and narrowed the calibers down significantly.
I can hit a 1 iron...or a 2 wood...but I'm a +2 handicap. It's not for everyone

I'd like to jump in on this debate but for my own info. I currently have two .40cal S&W for carrying. I see a lot of mention of what seems like many of you don't like that caliber? I'm new to this and have had this caliber in the past and have came back to it when I started carrying again this last year. I also want to pick up a .45acp in the near future and many other interest from there such as an AR. Is the lack of interest for the .40 do to the cost of the round or?

The slow, heavy push of the .45ACP really does find a nice rhythm with most shooters. It's a controllable caliber which most can shoot well for a long range session. Plus, it's one of the easiest calibers to reload, IMO. Of course, the most gorgeous part of the .45ACP is when you get to shoot it through a favorite 1911. And, I'll confess, I enjoy the deeper sense of history and heritage bound up with the .45 over, say, a newer caliber like the .40. Call me sentimental.
Why not the .40S&W so much…? Many agree that the recoil profile of that caliber is sharper (and not in a good way, IMO). And speaking only from my own experience, I just never cared for the G22 which I had available to shoot the .40. So, I never really warmed up to the caliber OR the gun. Plus, I like reloading larger calibers more than fiddling with the smaller cases and bullets of smaller calibers. Might sound silly, but again, that's just me.
That's the best I got. I'm sure others will not only completely disagree with me (and with compelling reasons!), but will also find better ways of expressing what I tried to say.
This is just my opinion, I don't want to start a flame war or caliber battle...
I like .40 because it's bigger than 9mm, I feel that it will drop anybody that is trying to hurt me, and I don't think the recoil is bad at all...
I hear alot of people say that .40 is a snappy round, well, I think it kicks less than my .380 did, and I don't have any issues throwing 200+ rounds down range with my .40.
Price, it's cheaper than .45, and .380. The cheapest handgun ammo you can get is 9mm, and I don't feel it has the power I want.
Just my $0.02
Oh, believe me, I miss any and all calibers of guns that I have weeded out, but I have to live within my means and I just don't have the cash for all the different types of guns I used to have. Sucks.i've considered this, but can't rationalize down past 3-4 .......... if i HAD to pick one , id say 357mag , and cut down to just a SAA 357 and a leveraction 357 ...... i suppose i could settle if need be , but i would miss 22 - 12g - 223 - 30/30
