Probably out of all of them 9mm makes the most sense, you would have to have a plethora of different loads for different situations...and I think 9mm probably has the most options.. still a little light for big game, but maybe if it was the only one, they could develope a bigger hotter +p load. Simplicity is not a good premise for having only one caliber.If 9mm was the answer, why so much effort to replace it? It predates every other viable pistol caliber. You would think they wiuld have just stopped with it.

If "simplicity" is your premise then, yes, having only one caliber is about as simple as it gets. Mission Accomplished.Simplicity is not a good premise for having only one caliber.
9mm of the list.
...I don't see 5.7 up there though. If it were, it might be our choice.
I thought about that as well. if 5.7 or 22-TCM were the only caliber out there, they would be really cheap, because there are significantly less costly raw materials used. Recoil on those is lighter than 9mm, capacity is high, as well and there is less drop over distance. A rifle length barrel could take down game. I think I would want more real life data on effectiveness before I used for defense though. That's why I compromised with the 7.62x25 Tokarev. Those old commie rounds for the sub guns were loaded hot, and it is still a decent size bullet.
