Best Answer

It's difficult to answer what is "average." Pistol bullets can be as small as .17 caliber (although not common) and as large as .950 caliber (also very uncommon).

The most common semi-auto handgun calibers are .22, 9mm, .40 (depending on where you are) and .45. The most common revolver calibers are .22, 38, 357, and .44, but there are a lot of other calibers available.
