All of those listed are arguable. The .25 and .32 ACP have been around for over 120 yrs., military issued in at least two World Wars, and they still make firearms for them. Any intelligent or rational thinking man would conclude, while popularity comes and goes, a longevity like that is likely not to suddenly subside. True a shovel wielded properly, John Wick style, would be more formidable than a tiny auto, I must face reality. (1) I seldom go about with a sharp-shooter shovel and do not know of a model that will fit into my front trouser pocket, and (2) I'm no John Wick.

The .40 S&W is the modernized version of the .38/40 Win. in a easy packing semi-auto. It's within 10% of the power of the hailed 10mm auto and I know there are bunches of guns chambered in it. The longevity of a cartridge does not necessarily depend on FBI adoption or use.

The .41 Mag. What kind of a moron is this guy?! He got me to name calling! Such is the emotional attachment to the .41 Magnum. The .45 GAP was a continuation of the .40 S&W concept and while I agree a bit overzealous it was interesting thinking, a .45 ACP in a 9mm chassis.

Over time many of these types of articles have been used to manipulate readership, move folks to emotional action. The .30-06 is dead, .44 Mag. vs .45 Colt, the .44 Special is No Good etc. Don't get too wound up about it, we are playing into their hand.
