I have more handguns than I can shoot at one range setting so I will take 4-5 of them at a time. There are a couple that I take every time and a few that I barely ever shoot.

I always take my Bersa 23 .22lr pistol and my Star B 9mm. And now my Beretta 21A. I have nicer and more accurate an expensive guns in these cals (Ruger MKII, Beretta 92fs to name a few) but these two guns are the most fun for some reason.

The Bersa is plenty accurate for plinking and holds the same amount of rounds as the MKII so it really lacks nothing yet is smaller and more handy. It is the only DA/SA .22lr semi auto pistol I have ever owned until I got my Beretta 21A a few weeks ago and I love it.

The Star B is just cool! It points right where I want it to and feels so good in my hand. It gets more accurate each time I shoot it (I am really just getting beter with it I guess) and it is just somehow more fun than the others.
 
It changes around. I used to haul out 5 or 6, but got tired of all the cleaning so lately I've been taking 3. That seems to work best as I can concentrate on the 3 instead of jumping to this and that, and cleaning time is cut in half.

As far as favorites, lately it's been a 625 and a MKII that I scoped earlier in the year. The 625 is fairly new and the Ruger is an old one I rediscovered in the safe. Last trip a 19 finished up the trio, and before that it was a 1911.

Sooner or later I'll get bored and rotate something else into the favorites slot.
 
My Steyr M-9, my Kel-Tec P-11 and my Beretta U22 Neos without fail are always at the range with me and are shot.
 
My 24-3 44spl,15-2 spl and my 65-3 gets shot every trip to the range.I try to put 100 rds thru my 44spl and 150 rds each thru the other 2.
 
It seems I always manage to get some time in with my Ruger Single Six. Fun to shoot , suprisingly accurate with 22lr cylinder and good trigger (has been worked on!) Once I start shooting the Ruger it sometimes gets hard to put it back in the case!
 
It seems that no matter what I start out to shoot I end up using my Llama Mini-Max.45 . I love this pistol. Just recently got Star Model B and I think I'll be shooting those a lot too.
 
S&W Mod 13 3" goes everytime. I rotate thru 1911, Taurus Tracker 45 Colt, S&W 60, 586, 940 and every once in a while my Ruger MKII and rarely my Ruger single six 22 mag.
