So Ill stick to my 9mm ammo for stock piling and ill go have some fun with the .45ACP haha

9mm: The 9mm is a popular cartridge for handguns due to its low recoil and high magazine capacity. It is an excellent choice for target shooting and self-defense, and is widely available and affordable.

.40 S&W: The .40 S&W was developed in the 1980s as a compromise between the 9mm and .45 ACP cartridges. It offers a balance of stopping power and recoil, making it a good choice for self-defense and law enforcement applications.

.45 ACP: The .45 ACP is a large, heavy cartridge known for its stopping power and terminal ballistics. It is a popular choice for self-defense, law enforcement, and military applications, but has more recoil and lower magazine capacity than other handgun cartridges.

It's important to note that there are many other handgun cartridges available, and the choice between them often comes down to personal preference and the intended use of the firearm. Beginners should seek advice from experienced gun owners or firearms professionals before making a decision on which cartridge to use.
