One of each for each caliber.

If you already had your "for real" guns are squared away and now you were simply collecting to collect, what pistol would you buy for each of these calibers: .22lr, .380, .38spl, 9mm, .40, .357sig, .357mag, 10mm, .45, and whatever other caliber you want to throw in there?

Hmmm... Okay:
