Diversifying calibers

Re: Diversifying calibers
If you have shot a .40 before and are okay with it then that would be a fine round. I also know a retired LEO that carried a Glock .357SIG for most or all of his carrier and liked that round very well. My non-expert recommendation would be to go with .45ACP first and then .357SIG.
I am not and have never been a LEO. My avatar is in honor of my friend, Dallas Police Sargent Michael Smith, who was murdered along with four other officers in Dallas on 7.7.2016.

Re: Diversifying calibers
Whatever caliber you choose, you wont go wrong. In my opinion 22lr, 380, 9, 40, 45, 357sig and mag, etc. are all great rounds. The only calibers I dont like are the very uncommon and useless calibers like 45 gap or 50gi. That being said, I have a FN Five Seven that shoots a not so common round. At least it has a purpose though, it makes me happy.

***update***
After reading through the comments I decded to go for a 45 next. I happened to check our local gun trader website late in the afternoon and to my surprise found a freshly listed G21SF. The owner was motivated to sell and we settled on 500. I got a heck of a deal! The gun and accessories look brand new. It came with truglo night sights, extended mag and slide release, ghost connector, competition trigger spring, and back plate with etched Texas flag. I am stoked! Picked up a few boxes of ammo at Walmart on way home and ready for the range this weekend.

Excellent choice. I have a Glock 21SF and that is the pistol that I trust will help keep my family safe at home. Again, excellent choice.silverbear wrote:***update***
