The Gun You Would Trust your Life To

Make mine a Glock 23

I have both the 23 and the 32. Either will do but the 40 S&w is much easier to find and afford. Honestly though, any Glock will do in a pinch.
 
As so many have already said, if I have a gun that isn't perfectly reliable, it's out the door. Having said that, if I had to choose one gun, it'd be my Mossberg 500 - it has never failed in too many rounds to count.
 
I would not keep a gun that I do not trust to fire when I need it.

Strange things happen but if it happens often in practice I am not happy with it anymore.

The only gun I have really tossed was a magnum revolver that kept jamming closed. Manufacturer started with a T.:cuss:


The rest are all keepers.
 
Yeah I'm of the opinion if can't trust a gun what's the point of having it, as well.



I do have my favorites but I trust all of them and if I don't they go bye-bye.
 
I trust the main four guns I use on a regular basis (in order of priority):

1) Mossy 590A1 12 gauge
2) S&W M&P 9mm
3) S&W 640-1 .357
4) S&W M&P 9c

Like others have said, if I didn't trust them then I wouldn't have them or count on them.
 
My Ruger SR9, Security 6 .357 mag., Stevens double barrel 12 ga., Stag AR15, None have ever had a malfunction that was attributed to the gun. and with the first three that was never.
 
I don't own any guns I don't trust. Even my rimfires. If that was all I had, I'd use it.
 
Like just about everyone else I can answer the trust my life to part of the question with "all of them."

You ask what one gun would I trust most.

Carry? I alternate between two (2.25" Ruger SP101 today), but it is usually my SIG P228, so I guess that is the one for carry.

Home defense? 4" S&W 586 and 18.5" Remington 870 Wingmaster are both at hand. Depends on the situation, of course, but since the S&W is more portable I guess I would choose that as the one for home defense.

I'm just glad I am not in a situation through either crazy politics or unfortunate economics to have to settle on just one gun.
 
One weapon? I need to compartmentalize here :D

Long Guns
Close work: Mossberg 500
Not So Close Work: M1 Garand

Handguns:
Close Work: 1911
Not So Close Work: S&W 66 or 686

Specialty Weapon: (When I really need a little more volume)
Bushmaster M4
 
Series 70 Mk IV Gold Cup National Match. It was bought new by me after my stint in the Phillipines. I have shot 50,000 + rounds through it and never had a failure I couldn't handle in the field right there. Anyone who thinks a .45 Colt is "unreliable" should take the time to learn how to use one.
 
Kinda depends on the situation

USUALLY the one closest to hand is the Springfield Armory "GI-45", but I have had my .357 Vaquero or even the Single-Six with .22Mag ammo as the "Bedside Table Companion"

Next up, no mater which is the primary, is my HomeLand Defense Shotgun...Maverick 88 with the 18-1/2" barrel
 
The firearm I would most trust my life to is the one I carry 24/7: a S&W 642 on my ankle.

Oh, to be sure, where the law allows, or where private property owners allow, I augment the 642 with either a 1911 or a S&W 686, both of which I "trust my life to." At home I am seconds away from bringing either a 12 ga. pump or AK-47 into action, either of which I also "trust my life to." But the item I carry everyday, everywhere, is the tiny .38 snubbie.
