Looks like .40 is the winner of this one.  Why do you all shoot .40 over other cartridges?

While the caliber is there, those that carry revolvers know the difference between .38 and .38+P.

I think it's because .40 punches a bigger hole without requiring a larger-framed and/or heavier weapon.

I like the idea of bigger holes, but I want them to be deeper as well, which is why my .400" bullets come from a slightly longer case than others...
