My combined 10 cartridge list is pretty workable:

.22 LR
.223
.243 (could sub 6.5 CM here)
.30-06
.375 HH
.45-70
9mm
.38/.357
.45 ACP (mainly for milsurp)
12 gauge

Honorable mention to 20 gauge, .44 Mag., and 300 WM.

If there's ever an invasion of Austro-Hungarian Archdukes, you NEED to be ready! :mrgreen:

Granted, there is NO expanding bullet for the round I'd put much trust in, but the flat point FNFMJ/WFN profiles will penetrate sufficiently. With that ammo, it's not a bad performer for the size of guns it can be had in. Rare is the new gun that excites me much any more, but the little M&P Bodyguard 2.0 is dinky. . .and it holds 12 of them.
WWJMBD?

I believe we should stand on Ceremony. . . while our friends handcuff the sanctimonious little prick and take him away.

Yeah pocket sized 9mm have pretty much eliminated my need. Well not pocket sized, but the Glock 43x. If I’m going to carry something, I’m going to carry something I can shoot well.

I keep my keltec around because there’s times, well, there’s times. 😘
I’m just never THAT naked………..in public.

There are those can US (Under Scrotum) carry, and those who are jealous of those who can.

When I was growing up, dad (a doctor) had medical journals and books all over the house and I was always rather curious about diseases and medical conditions, so I spent hours reading and talking about them with my dad. I remember seeing the pics of a guy with testicular elephantiasis and being rather shocked so that one stuck.

Don't act for a second like you don't have inflated sack pics ready to go.

I mean, we shared a room last summer. You were asleep and naked,
Just laying it all out so to speak. Had to snap a pic.
