I'm a 9mm guy.  I shoot .45 ACP well, but the cost of training with it is quite a lot more than it is with 9.

Totally agree with 9mm.

except when wearing a tailored suit and only the Walther PPK 380 is concealable. :)

+1 for 9mm

My carry gun is 9mm. I like the price, availability and capacity. I like .45ACP for my 1911. I really enjoy casting and hand loading .45ACP

It depends. 9mm, because it is readily available and more reasonably priced than some others. .380 because it is so small and concealable. 38 spl just because revolvers have that old school appeal. They're all good for me, and I would be happy to carry any of them. Better yet, carry all three at the same time!

Every thing I own is 9mm or 5.56. It makes it easier.

Most of our firearms are 10mm or 7.62.

When I'm in a tailored suit (and all of mine are since I'd make a bean pole look obese), I opt for my Walther PPS with a 7 round mag.
