M&P .45 full-sized.

With the exception of my two .380s, I would be comfortable in a fracas with any of the handguns in my safe.

I have 4 guns in my carry rotation (more than that in the safe, but I use only 4 for carry purposes). Three are .45 semi-autos, the other a .357 revolver. Of the .45s, two are 1911s, and one is an M&P. I wouldn't carry any of them if I wasn't confident in my ability to shoot them. That said, even though my 1911s own my heart, I would probably choose the M&P 45 as a last ditch gun. I shoot it nearly as well as I shoot either 1911, and it carries a couple more rounds (10+1) than my Springfield (8+1) or my Kimber Ultra (7+1). I have 4 magazines for it, so a 40+1 round loadout only requires 3 reloads instead of 4 if I wanted to carry 40+1 rounds for my 5" 1911, and 6 reloads for my 3" 1911.

But all of that is purely hypothetical. I don't ever plan on having to maybe do one reload (while I'm running away), and I don't bother carrying 41 rounds of .45, else my pants would always be falling down.

Thanks. ... Just when I get that tune out of my head you bring it back up. ...

And, if I were to have the choice of what gun to have on me were things to go really bad, it would be this one I would prefer over the others I own (or have owned in the past).

What's the pistol or revolver you would want to have in your hand, given the s-h'ing-the-fan?

I want my hand on a pistol far away from that fan! The rest of me too.

At home my second choice is my AR. On the streets it's my Glock. That's why it's my carry gun.

Whatever's handy. One of my M&Ps and/or a 2" snub is what I have on me most of the time. In a really bad situation I want a long gun - - - either an AR or shotgun with slugs.

all of them

Glock 31.

Beretta PX4 Storm

One of my M&P's. I have spares for basically anything that could/would break or wear out. I don't have to call the manufacturer or place an order for parts.

Smith snubbie, 5 shot .38 spec. in a Galco paddle. Always goes bang.

Actually, I might be acquiring a XDm .40 possibly..
Friend wants to get the new XDm .45, but can only afford one gun at a time.
Figured if he 'pulls the trigger' on the deal, I'd gladly buy the .40 off of him so that he could purchase the .45

And no... I never plan on owning one of them G-things... About the only other polymer handgun I like right now, other than the XDm, is the P30
