I don’t we’ll see any dramatic changes until the introduction of the phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range…
Only 40 watts?

Despite this, Armscor and Tisas still make them (as does AO/Kahr)..38super is toast. Average age of a 1911 shooter in that caliber is 87.
If it’s my job as a “responsible” gun owner to go out and buy a .25ACP and a .45GAP in order to help prevent those two cartridges (not “calibers”) from going extinct, I’m bowing out. I’m not THAT much of a “responsible” gun owner.If we as responsible gun owners do our part then none should go extinct. We have to keep up the good fight.
You should have said "cartridges". The names of cartridges are often not the actual caliber. There are a number of cartridges with a common caliber.Specifically the "common" calibers seen in the USA.
In my opinion, I feel like 9mm would be the #1 caliber that isn't going anywhere, any time soon. Along with 9mm, I'd also throw in .357 mag, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .38 Spl, and .380 ACP.
I feel that calibers like .25 ACP and .32 ACP have the highest chance of completely being phased out. Namely the .25 ACP. I feel .22LR has it's place as the "smallest" caliber for easy shooting. It's solidified it's popularity in this regard.
It’s like they almost don’t understand physics or ballistics.
.45, 10mm, and .40 are easy to make out of lead wheel weights. And don't require JHP to be effective.
This is so; lead ingots at the plumbing supply house are getting to be like printed copies of Yellow Pages.Lead is getting harder to come by
Add .38 Special, and I think you've got it nailed.The two that will never die would be 9mm and.45 ACP. Otherwise no-one would have anything to argue about

Last to go will be 22lr
First will be 45 gap.
Sadly, wheel weights made from lead are drying up, and linotype is basically gone. Lead is getting harder to come by. Your argument is not as strong as I wish it was.
You can to me if you take me out to eat first.I know it’s not in the hand gun class but around here it seems like you can’t give away a .300 WSSM.
