Your Favorite Semi-Auto Pistol Caliber and Why

I chose .45ACP & 9mm. My first love is the "45". My CGC will always be #1. I recently purchased a 9mm after shooting a friend of mines 9. What a fun cartridge!! The range I belong to is a police range so there is always 9mm brass lining around. Free brass and two Dillons at home equals a "whole lot of fun"!!!!

It just occurred to me that among your fine collection of .32 ACP semi-autos you're missing one of the most stylish ones ever made: the Beretta Model 90 Roma!

I had one many years ago and while I wasn't a big fan of the .32 ACP I just had to have this sleek and snazzy looking Beretta!

I actually had a Model 90 at one time but that was many decades ago. It suffered though from simply not looking like a Beretta.

I always thought the Model 90 looked more like a Walther PP than it looked like your typical open slide Beretta, like the Model 70. Even so I loved the clean lines, smooth DA trigger, and superb handling qualities of the Roma.

"La Roma era bellissima senza paragoni!"

Exactly. But there were a whole bunch of Walther Look-Alikes and I already had a Manurhin PP and two Bernardellis; one hammer fired and one striker. The Bernardellis are SA though. Had a couple Italian Paragons as well; the OMAS Paragons.
