For travel and nightstand use the Kimber custom eclipse in 45 is always around full of hyrdoshoks.   I have a cut down to 4" Ruger redhawk in 44 mag that I really like and shoot a lot.    For ease of carry I have a Smith and Wesson 360 PD in .357 full of 125 federal hollow points..  this is a 12 oz revolver that fits in a front pocket and is no more trouble to carry than a cell phone.   It is a whole new world of recoil tho.. especially since I replaced the sticky, useless, rubber grips with smooth eagle wood ones.

For long guns I have a couple of Winchester 97 shotguns in long and trench gun variations.. they work as good now as they ever did..  I have a mini 14 in .223 and an M1 garand and a few mausers and the odd smle and such.

Wow. The guns you american can have are amazing. Here in Australia you have to have a license and a reason that's NOT home defence to own a firearm. Last I checked anyways.
oh and for the record Australia had average say 100 deaths per year by guns. The U.S.A. has something like 10000 average. Interesting to note.

Love gun.

Unfortunately my wife thinks it has a sawed-off barrel.

I'm very eager to try out an XD - a police officer friend of mine told me it's basically a mix of a 1911 and a Glock - the best of both worlds  :aok

I love my XD-40!

How many deaths did you have on average before your government took most of your guns away a decade or so ago? Mexico has far more restrictive gun laws and gun ownership compared to the US, and the last time I checked they had a higher per capita homicide rate as well. All relative.

My truck gun is a 1908 Smith and Wesson copy of a Webley chambered in 38 S&W.

Though I think it may not be a wise move to show everyone the full extent of a gun collection. Mine is . . . sufficient.

 The only guns loaded in my home right now are my Beretta CX4 9mm (92 mod) which has a reflex sight mounted and a Surefire E2D LED Defender mounted on board, my police model 92FS Beretta with the Trijicon night sights. Those two guns are my HD/SHTF guns. They use the same caliber and mags. Since we are now in the hottest month in Ga I am carrying my little S&W .357 snubby, loaded with 38+P GDHP. In the cooler months I go back to a Sig 229 9mm set up.

 Everything else is locked up in the safe.

I carry an XD .45 Bitone, the full sized version. I'm big enough that an IWB carry w/ a T shirt over it will conceal it. For home I have a Kimber Stainless Goldmatch in .45.

Re: Emperors Obama's rise.......I predict if he actually wins......... he wont complete the term of office.

I don't know why you say that. So far there is no real indication he will tap hillary for a running mate.

Hehehe - same deal here...  I've always been tempted to put up a little notice at my front door :
"TRESSPASSERS WILL BE SHOT.  SURVIVORS, SHOT AGAIN"

(But I worry that it would be used against me in court so it's a no-go)
