1911, though to be fair the CZ75 and SIG P226 are both on the "Next" list. Who knows after that. My series 70 has some serious shortcomings as a Home Defense pistol, (No night sights, no accy rail, hammerbite, 10rnd limit,etc) but a modern 1911 might address those. I will have to own all three pistols to see if familiarity wins out over features. Regardless, the 1911 just always feels right in my hands.
I haven't found the perfect rifle, though my dad's Saiga is always comfy and true, just like my 1911.
(edit) I should add that after 8 years in the Corps, the AR series is real comfy for me. But it remains to be seen if it will be a go to weapon. (First I have to move to a state that will let me have an un-neutered one.)

I keep coming back to the Browning Hi-Power, Ruger Security-Six .357 and S&W Model 36. I bought and sold, bought and sold and finally bought and kept each one.

Pocket carry - alloy jframe in .38 spl.
IWB - 1911
OWB - no real favorite here, but the 3" model 13 I just picked up may change all of that
Rifle- haven't found that sweet spot yet, still looking. The M1/M1A series seems to fit me awful well though. I have owned an AR and a Mini-14 in the past. I actually preferred the Mini although the AR is much more ergonomic. I will likely have another AR in the future, but it will probably never be my preferred rifle.
I used to be a diehard Glock fan, but over the years, my enthusiasm has waned considerably. There are still a few models I am interested in (21 and 20) but my days of believing they were the be-all and end-all of the pistol world have long since passed.

Not that I ever left any of these, but here goes:
Pistol: Glock. What more do you need? Admittedly, the .45 cal 1911 gets honorable mention.
Rifle: AR-15. Having owned many and shot most of what is out there, I still prefer this one.
Shotgun: Mossberg 500/590. Lightweight, inexpensive, and the carrier does not get in the way of me stuffing more shells into the magazine. All those things the 870 is not... Yes, I do in fact own an 870 as well.
