I found this on Wikipedia and thought that some folks may be interested in seeing the different caliber bullets and how they stack up against each other in size.


From left: 9x19mm Parabellum, 7.62x25mm Tokarev, .357 SIG, 10 mm Auto, .40 S&W, .45 GAP, .50 Action Express

Left to right: .460 S&W Magnum, .454 Casull, .44 Magnum, .45ACP, .22LR


Left to right: 1 3 inch 12 ga magnum shotgun shell, 2 AA battery (for size comparison), 3 .454 Casull, 4 .45 Winchester Magnum, 5 .44 Remington Magnum, 6 .357 Magnum, 7 .38 Special, 8 .45 ACP, 9 .38 Super, 10 9 mm Luger, 11 .32 ACP, 12 .22 LR

“Every man . . . should have the right to bear armsfor the defense of himself and family and his home-stead. And if the cabin door of the freedman is broken open and the intruder enters for purposes as vile as were known to slavery, then should a well-loaded musket be in the hand of the occupant to send the pol-luted wretch to another world, where his wretched-ness will forever remain complete.”

My choices:

Actually I don't have the 9mm just the .45ACP and the .50GI.

Here's an eye opener, .22LR, .45 Long Colt, 50BMG.
All sitting on my desk saying "Just Shoot Me"
By itself the .45 Colt looks pretty big until you put it next to Ma Duece food.
