Hi new here.

I am pretty familar with Rifles, But a novice when it comes to Handguns. The current administration scares me, So I decided to add to my "collection"

If you owned a Rifle, Handgun, ShotGun that was a common round What would it be, I have a 30-30 and 22lr.

I like the .44 magnum. I have two handguns and a rifle in that caliber.
For the shotgun: 12 guage, hands down the most common and ammo is easily found.

Common round?

.22, 9mm, .40, 10mm, .45 rounds out the autoloader pistol calibers.

30-30, .223, .300 WSM, need more rifles.

12gauge, 12gauge, 12 gauge, I still kinda want a 10 gauge for sky bustin geese.

I think your bias is showing a little.. 10mm a "common" round? Methinks not. Most major handgun manufacturer's don't even make a 10mm model. Just sayin.

But back to the OP... 9mm, .40 and .45 are the most common/popular calibers. Me I like 9mm and .45 but .40 is a good compromise as well.

As for shotguns, 12 guage is probably the most common.

Rifles, AR clones are the most common defensive rifles, so that would be .223/5.56 but for hunting you'd likely want a .308 , 30-06, 7mm etc.

So if I had to pick one of each for defensive purposes:

.45 handgun

12 guage shotgun

.223/5.56 rifle
