Evil, nice collection. That 1913 is a Colt, right? Does the S&W 325PD kick a bit cause it's so lite? I was just checkin it on online after I posted; not a cheap unit for sure. Also, that Raptor is a real beauty. 
Features for the money, I don't think a Kimber can be beat. If my next pc. isn't a 870, it'll prolly be another Kimber but a fullsize. The Ultra is designed for compactness, but the fullsize will fit my hand better.

yes, the raptor is quite nice...full size of course.
the 1911 is a colt .45....originally bought in chicago in 1913.
one of my favorites in the whole lot is the CZ97b .45 all metal 10rd ....awesome gun.

why do folks want .50 cal pistols? whats the point? why pay so much more for something that is so unnecessary in a defense setting... a .40S&W or .45 ACP are much more than perfect for that need... .50 or .44 mag and all those "exotic" calibers are just status stuff in my opinion...

10mm is a very good round, but typically hard to find compared to any other common carry caliber such as .380, 9, 40, 45. The 45 round is good but lacks in trajectory and runs out of steam fast. The 9 while being a fairly inexpensive round offer's more than enough "put down power" while giving you the range needed for the job. But by far the .40 is the superior round to carry, ammo is easily found anywhere in the country, will shoot faster and further, with typically better accuracy then .45's and 9's. The technology of today offer's bullet's that are far superior to what there was even 5 years ago. Anything will stop the threat, it just comes down the the operator and what they are prepared/trained to do in any given situation.
My preferred carry gun- glock 27 or XDSC9
It doesnt matter if the 124 grain or the 165 grain bullet's hit their mark, its game over!

Michael, 10 > 9mm really?
See my comment below.

Just throwin this out there for those w/. more knowledge on this specific subject: What is the average distance a homeowner faces in a defense situation?

Id take a .40 over a 10mm anyday.. Power means nothing, The follow up shot is what counts.
I have a XD Subcompact 40 that i carry everyday, and a XD Service model that i shoot competition with.
I perfer the XD over the glock, Not because its "better" but because it points natural and is comfortable to shoot.
Last ICORE match i shot in had an array of targets, 3 to the left and 3 to the right 10yds in front of a 3' wide barricade 2 shots per target and a mandantory reload behind the barricade. i averaged 6.1 seconds with all hits in the "A", Lets see you do that with the "full power 10mm"

Agreed 100%(besides your fav carry guns) This is often a subject that comes up with rifle ammo, with my buddies.. A few of them are all about these crazy calibers.. 25-06, 280 8mm ect.. While I like my .308 or 30-06 round.. It might not be the flattest or be the fastest shooting rounds, but it has more then proven it self at what it can do, amm in that cal are just about everywhere..
