Your "go to gun."

When the OP says go-to gun I'm taking that to mean what is my go-to now, not in a future hypothetical situation. Right now that is a Glock 23 that is my carry gun almost every time.

I wouldn't want to be buried with it, because I want my descendants to enjoy shooting it, but the gun I'd grab in an emergency would be my 16" Tavor. Great little carbine that is a lot of fun to shoot, great ergonomics, reliable, and easy to maintain.

Mine would be my 4" M19-3.

I went ahead and found a spare barrel and cylinder just to make sure I can keep it running well into the future. Forcing cone issues be d*mned.

Or in case one of my back up M19's goes down.

Depends on the what and the where. Either the electroless nickle Series 70, or the LE6920, or both.

As others have mentioned "go to" to me kind of signals a carry piece. For me that's my LC9s that's with me every day.

As far as being buried with a gun, if I had something truly valuable or sentimental I wouldn't want to be buried with it, I'd want to pass it along. If I ever decided I wanted to be buried with a gun "just because", it would be something no one cares about, like a Glock.

If all I could have

This is an easy one, my first duty gun. A Smith and Wesson model 686 no dash, 4 inch barrel. The trigger is so smooth. I started with the PD in 1985. I retired near the end of 2007. I had a great run and retired before I became bitter. Life is good.

My S&W model 625 (.45ACP), with an out-of-the-box trigger job. Shoots anything I can create with my reloader. My 'nightstand gun' for as long as I've been shooting. Others may come and go, but that revolver is it. @jim in Anchorage, you'll be pleased to know I acquired it while stationed in Anchorage.

But my Glock spends much more time with me very day.

I cannot break up a family.

"Your go-to gun" sounds like just one. I'm going to have to go with my S&W Mod 627, 2.5 inch, 8 shot .357. A tad thicker, but really no bigger or heavier than my 1911.

It'd be a waste to bury it, but....
My hipower and I are joined at the hip, and I plan on keeping it that way up until the point where I assume room temperature. Then my boy can have it

What are we defining as a "go to" gun? Is it one I trust my life with to operate? If yes, most of my duty guns fit that bill.

Outside of a couple of .22s every gun I own I would trust with my life or I wouldn't have it. "Go to" is every one of them

Whichever CZ 75 I am closest to at that time...

My "go-to" gun will pretty much always be a 1911. They perform for me like an extension of my arm. I carry a fully customized one daily.

As far as burial, I've passing all firearms mine on. My burial instructions are
to have me in a sports car with my hand on the stick shift and my foot pressing
the accelerator to the floor board.

Mine is a 1978 Remington 700 VS in .25-06, first centerfire rifle I owned. It has gone everywhere with me and hunted everything I've ever hunted. Sure, I have a lot of other rifles but this is always my first choice.

Never mind that it's a long action and doesn't have an extensive collection of high bc bullets to shoot, it has never failed me.
