This discussion began in the P88 forum but warrants a larger audience. It was kicked off by Deputy, who logged in with the following comment:
WHICH GUN DO YOU HAVE AT THIS EXACT MOMENT THAT IS LOADED AND READY FOR ACTION? And I have the BS detector activated, so don't reply with a "fibgun."
For me, I actually have 3 guns loaded and ready for action in my gun safe:
#1 A S&W Model 647S .45ACP.
#2 A Charter Arms Bulldog in .44Special
#3 A NAA mini-revolver in .22 magnum
If I had to grab one, it would be either #1 or #2...whichever my hand landed on. I have 100% confidence in either caliber.
Note: I don't keep a 1911A1 loaded and ready for action. I am not really comfortable with a cocked and locked 1911, no matter how much training I've had (and I've had a LOT) and how many safeties are on it. For military use, very cool. For home defense, I want a double action gun.

All right, folks, start your engines. Be sure to chime in on your post as to reasons, calibers, specific models, and anything else that strikes your fancy.
