    We all know that 9mm is inadequate for self-defense. The FBI created .40S&W to specifically address the shortcomings of the 9mm cartridge. But what about the big boy calibers? Which is smarter? .45ACP or .357Mag or .380?

    Didn't the FBI accept the 9mm in lieu of the 45 and the 357

    You know something??

    My shot::kill ratio was at it’s all-time high when I was, at 14 years old, wielding the .177 Benjamin pump air rifle my dad gave me when I was 11.

    ........................................................

    My calibers have escalated from .177BB to .22lr to .222rem to .270rem to 375H&H to 50BMG.

    I’ve been de-escalating my shooting.
    Having descended from 50BMG to 408Cheytac to 338Lapua to 300mag to 6.5Creedmore to 5.56mm to 22Hornet to 17HM2

    ......................................................

    I may end up with my old CO2 Benjamin .177 air pistol as my open carry sidearm.

    Circle of life???
