Makarov loaded with hot handloads - why because it's small enuff to pocket carry powerful enough to be confidence inspireing and good enuff to get me to my Colt 1911 .45acp, S&W 5904 or GP Ruger if need be or my SXS 12ga.
Usually my Glock 21sf loaded with Winchester Supreme Elite JHP
or my Glock 27 with Winchester Supreme Elite JHP +P
or my Taurus Judge Ultra-lite loaded with 5 rounds of Hornaday 45LC JHP
None of them have any safeties to worry about. I just wake up, point & shoot, then ask "Who's there?"
ARMSCOR/Charles Daly 1911 full size, with 3 USGI mags
loaded with Remington JHP's.
I also rely on a Mossberg 500 and an old Chinese SKS at other places in the home.
These are 3 of the most reliable firearms I have ever owned.

NOTE: I'm not "religious" about the 1911, but I started shooting them back when they were the US service pistol, and I got to like them over the years - have 2 now, both Daly's.
Which ever one I am closest to when the need arises (RIA Tactical-45acp, SR9-9mm, S&W-38spl, LCP-380, 870-12ga, Ruger MKIII-22lr, Walther P22-22lr, SKS-7.62x39). They are in various locations throughout the house. But.... they're not all autos.
Logic: It's a high-capacity .45, extremely reliable, only need to get past the safety #1. The STL900L is a great all-in-one tool for HD. Light, laser, strobe. Pick what you want, based on your tactical situation. Daytime: laser. Night: Strobe light... Or nothing at all. Either way you have the option of 3 tools in one.
Glock 21SF with a pic rail and a Surefire light mounted will sit on my night-stand when I am 18 (unless Glock comes out with a better .45).. 13 rounds of .45 Auto are more than enough!
hk usp compact .40 two extra 12 rd mags loaded with speer golddots with a streamlight m3 light. it's light, reliable, and the .40 s&w is a potent round that offers more capacity in a pistol it's size versus the .45 acp.
I have a Taurus 24/7 40 S&W on my nightstand. I keep it out for home defense because I shoot it very well and it has over 1000 rounds through it without any FTF's. I know some people have had bad experiences with Taurus, But this particular pistol has been 100% reliable and is very accurate. I carry it often so I definitely trust my life to it. I also keep a Mossberg 12 Gauge close by if need be.
XD-40, its proven itself reliable over the course of 3500 rounds, fits my hand like a glove and points very naturally for me. No other pistol I've held feels this good in my hand and I've held plenty.
Hmmm! When did you pick up that POS?! Hahaha I should have gotten a comission on that sale! Well, I guess I did with the price they gave me on the PPS.
As far as a light goes, you already have one! Just get it fixed!
