Hey guys. So I'm finally trying to do something about getting my first handgun. Been wanting one for years. I want something I can carry concealed (or rather the option). Something that has fairly cheap ammo to have fun with on the range but bigger than a 22 for defense purposes. Suggestions are appreciated but my main reason for posting this is to understand the size differences. I'm hoping someone could do a quick chart of the common handgun ammunition sizes. I'm rather confused where say a 9mm glock falls compared to a 38. Especially why mm is used compared to .357 caliber... I've googled this but all the charts I've found don't really explain it well.

Thanks!

PS which is faster to reload/less of a hassle (thinking of target range practice here), a revolver or clip?
