22mag - Why? I can handload 125grn 357mag cheaper.
25acp - Useless in a pistol.
380 - Darn near useless in a pistol.
9mm - Tepid performance so 357mag, 40s&w, 45acp, and 10mm are better choices.
41mag - Too much recoil and too heavy in available platforms. Expensive even handloading.
44mag - Too much recoil and too heavy in available platforms. Expensive even handloading.
