My preferences are 9mm and .45 Auto and I reload for only those calibers..

.45 for fun in the sun...

"Steel is real."

Your mileage may vary. :-)

I currently reload 9mm, 10mm and .45 Auto.

I carry polymer, just can’t beat the comfort and reduced weight for daily carry. Because that is what I carry, I have to practice with them, no way around it.

But after I put through my mandatory rounds for the carry pistols, I pull out the gun I love to shoot. It is even bigger and heavier than a government model. I pull out a S&W 625, steel N frame 45 Auto revolver. I need to buy a second or third because both my boys have fallen in love with the revolver and I have to wait my turn to shoot now.

Steel is real, revolvers are a blast. But in the end, you have to pick the right tool.

I am very tempted to turn a series 70 into 460 Rowland. Haven’t figured out if I want to invest in yet another cartridge to reload, but I could get the 625 reamed out to shoot the 460 and retire the 10mm. But then I would start thinking I could save some weight and increase capacity by converting a Glock 21 and then I’d be back in polymer.
