    25acp off (40S&W was close with 9mm and 45acp on list)
    Add 460 S&W Mag when 44 Mag isn't enough, plus you can use 454 Casull or 45 Colt.

    .22 long rifle - Stay
    .25 acp - Gone

    .38 special / .357 magnum - Gone
    9mm luger - Stay
    .40 s&w - Gone
    10mm auto - Gone
    .44 magnum - Stay
    .45 acp - Gone

    The .22 LR has a decent niche as a cheap plinking, practice, and varmit killer.

    The 9mm in all its variantions, 9mm, 9mm+p, and 9mm+p+ can do anything all those other rounds can do.

    The .44 stays because one could reasonable justify the existence of a much heavier, faster round for defense against very large animals / heavily clothed individuals / super obese attackers.

    So, you're saying that a 9mm is better than a 357? Check your meds.

    Not better, but close enough. Buffalo Bore's 9mm+p+ develops 500 foot pounds of energy. That's pretty darn close to their .357's 750 foot pounds, and it's right in line with many commmon .357 loadings. For the purposes of killing a person, 500 foot pounds to 750--really, not that much difference. You can't kill somebody deader than dead. Feeling inadequate with only 500 foot pounds? See my list and my point to get the .44 magnum.

    I would expect to see a little more hate for the .40 s&w

    And while I agree it's not particularly useful I have a special place in my heart for the diminutive John Browning designed .25 acp cartridge...

    I have - at last count - 24 semiautomatic pistols chambered in .25 acp

    And no replacing the .38 special with the .38 super???

    I don't hate the 10mm rounds, I just don't have any firearms that shoot it.

    Your original list did specify pistol cartridges. (and yes I am being technical) Several of your original list are only revolver calibers. They are not pistol calibers.

    Therefore the .38 special/.357 magnum and the .44 magnum are not technically pistol cartridges they are handgun cartridges and are also more properly revolver cartridges.

    just saying.... (Cause I used to get called out on it all the time...) All of the .22 can go in all three categories...

    flame on.,,
