I guess reliability is the #1 thing I look for in a carry piece. That might be why its almost always an airweight 38spl snubby. But I've carried just about every centerfire I got in the safe at one time or another. (Except the 4" 44 mag) .

But I still remember that all things can fail so I usually carry a spare mag for semi autos and a speed loader for the wheelguns.

It sure didn't take you long to take the tigers logo down Haka...
No, it didn't take long. I figure if i'm not reminded of the Tigers by seeing that logo, I forget what happened sooner. :(
I do have one of those 33 rd glock mags. I have loaded it once and shot it, but it seems to get expensive real quick doing it that way. I just keep it around for the novelty factor.

If your first priority is 'stopping power', then take a look at this:

you got to love the world series trip after that 119 loss season a few years back...... just sayin'

the 33 rounders are no more expensive than 30 round ar mags to feed......

It is amazing where they have come from since that 119 loss season, I think they'll have a better team in 2013 though.

I'm with the reliability group number #1 and second on my list is being able to hit what I'm aiming at on a regular basis.
