Dear lord, why on earth would I have a firearm that DIDN'T go bang when I needed it?

I could reach into the safe blindfolded and be perfectly happy with whatever I retrieved.
 
My number 1 choice is what I carry as my primary EDC, my Ruger SP-101. Second choice is my Ruger P345 (which is my nightstand gun). Also in the mix are my G19 and either of my J-frames (642 and 638)
 
From the bed, .357 Blackhawk or 5" Kimber 1911
From the seat of the truck xd40.

With a little advance warning, (not hard to get with 2 dogs) the 870.

Either of my S&W Mountain guns, a 625 & 25, both in .45LC, a PPK, an XD9SC, or my Kimber Raptor II. Just depends on which is closest and loaded. Three of these are always loaded and fairly close at hand, two of them also are my primary CCW guns.
 
S&W 4" Model 66-1 loaded with 38 +P 158gr JHP. This thing is bone stock and has the finest trigger I've pulled on an unaltered factory S&W.
 
BTW, regarding the strain screw discussions earlier in this thread. Those screws need to be locked down tight. If you are loosening these screws to get a lighter trigger pull then you will need more than just blue loctite to keep it in place permanently as they will still loosen up under recoil eventually. Ask me how I know. I'm using my next range trip to find my 617's sweet spot then tacking it down with a cross pin through the frame/screw. Done.
 
My springfield 1911 first choice.

My glock 35 that I use for IPSC shoots every time and I don't feel bad about leaving it with my wife when I have to work nights, she likes it cause it has no buttons or levers to push just aim and fire.
 
If it absolutley must go bang every time I pull the trigger---my Ruger Alaskan in .44 Mag.
 
Depends where I am in the house, but here at my desk sits a G19, by my chair in the living room is an XD45 and a Smith 469, by the bed is a Sig 226 on my side and a Smith MP9 on my wife's. Out in the shop are tried and true Colt Government model and on my hip is the sweetest running Kimber Custom Compact 1.
Sprinkled throughout the house are an assortment of snubbies, a 12 guage pump,a 12 guage coachgun
a Colt 6920 and a Colt SP1.

If all else fails I go to the rack in our safe room....: therack.gif

Either of my Rugers have NEVER failed to fire, I'm quite confident in my SA has never failed to fire. If I absolutely had to say "It will go BOOM" its my Super Blackhawk.
 
every handgun I own will go 'bang' first trigger pull but all I have are double/single actions except for my Ruger MK .22 and I know for sure it will go 'bang' with good ammo.
I keep a Makarov stoked w/hot handloads velcroed in spare holster to my bed post.
12ga Mag SXS leaned in near corner stoked w/Mag # 4 BB.
 
S&W 686 Plus. Would also trust my S&W 910S with factory fifteen round magazines.
