20160619_224646Last Sunday’s rifle caliber quiz was a lot of fun, and congrats to “Will from Oregon” for being the first to name all of the cartridges correctly! I headed back to my ammo locker and grabbed handgun calibers this time. So…same challenge: who can ID them all correctly first?

  1. 22 short, 9mm Makarov, .380 auto, 9mm Luger, .357 Sig, .40 S&W, 10mm, .45 auto, 38 Special, 44 Magnum

      • Okay, the correct list is:

        .22 Short
        .32 ACP
        .380 ACP
        9×19
        .357 SIG
        .40 S&W
        10mm Auto
        .45 ACP
        .38 Special
        .44 Magnum

        …some non-standard bullets in there definitely didn’t make it easy!

    • I think you reversed the order on the .380 and Mak. And I think the .38 is actually a .45 colt. And I believe that last one is a .500 S&W.

  2. Tricky. I see 22 short, 9×17, 9×18, 38 super, 357sig, 40S&W?, 10mm?, 460 Roland?, I don’t shoot revolvers much, and .41mag?

    I think.

  3. .22 short, 9mm Mak, .380 acp, 9mm, .357 Sig, .40 s&w, 10mm, .45 acp, .357 mag, .45 colt.

  4. 22 short, 32 acp, 380 acp, 9mm parabellum, 357 sig, 40 s&w, 10mm, ok- um – 460 Roland, 32 H&R magnum, 41 S&W mag

  5. .22 short, 380 auto, 9mm makarov, 9mm Luger, 357 sig, .40 s&w, 10mm, .45 acp, .38 special, .44 mag

  6. .22 short, .32 auto, .380, 9mm, 357 sig, 40 S&W, 10mm, 45 ACP, 38 special and .460 Ruger?

    • Gah wicked brain fart changing 460 ruger to 44 mag and we’ll see where that takes us.

      • Bingo with the .44 mag! This was a hard one what with the weird projectiles in some of the calibers.

  7. I thought the .44 Mag would be longer. I would have guessed a .44 Special as the last one.

  8. If #4 is 9x19mm it’s got an awfully long projectile sticking out of the case…

  9. 22 short; 9X18; .380 ACP; 9X19 (orP); .357 Sig; .40 S&W; 10mm; .45 ACP; .41 Mag; .500 S&W…

    • Or perhaps:
      22 short; .380 ACP; 9X18; 9X19 (orP); .357 Sig; .40 S&W; 10mm; .45 ACP; .41 Mag; .500 S&W…

  10. 22 short; .380 ACP; 9X18; 9X19, .357 Sig; .40 S&W; 10mm; .45 ACP; .44 Mag; .500 S&W…

  11. 22 short.
    9mm Cort
    9mm Makarov
    9mm Parabellum
    357 sig
    40 s&w
    10mm
    45 acp
    44 magnum
    460 S&W

  12. Identifying by case diameter would be deceptive. I would use the 357 SIG as a baseline, the only bottleneck case.
    762×25 would not likely have that bullet configuration. So going by relative length of the cases
    22 short
    380 ACP
    9mm Markov
    9mm parabellum. strange bullet on this one
    357 SIG
    40 S&W
    10mm
    45 ACP a very familiar bullet ogive
    38 special not 357 because the 44 magnum to the right is a longer case
    44 magnum

    Spock analysis! He can’t do it now so I have to do it myself.

  13. How’s about:
    22 short, 32 acp, 380 acp, 9mm P, 357 sig, 40 s&w, 10mm, 45 acp. .44 mag and 500?

    • I put the correct list near the top of the comments section in bold text on that post as well as this one…

  14. I’m not a specialist of handgun ammo, here’s my try:

    .22 Short,
    .32 ACP,
    .380 ACP / 9mm Kurz
    9 x 19mm
    .357 Sig
    .40 S&W
    .38 Spl
    .45 ACP
    .357 Mag
    .454 Casull

    • I still have a box of almost 100 from a long time ago. They’re probably 15+ years old haha

  15. Anything but 45acp in pistol calibers aren’t worth talking about.

    Yea, byteme all you 9mm weenies.
