Mine would probly me my xd9, s&w 686 or my rem 1911r1(that was a gift from my wife)
The xd isn't worth a lot but I shoot it the best and most often. The 686 is just so nice I couldn't sell it! My younger brother tries to but it every week!

My CZ 75BD. Once I got the initial FTE issue worked out, it became my prized companion at the range and around town. Recently discovered it shines at IDPA too.

Chris in va- I was starting to think you were jaded against cz's.... Good to know you've come around.
Hmm...
I have two that absolutely won't be sold...ever.
One for sentimental reasons, as well as the fact that I really like the gun. It's a series 1 Colt Woodsman that belonged to my grandfather. 'Nuff said.
The other is a Ruger original Vaquero in .45 Colt. I've tweaked and customized it to get it "just right" for my intended uses (hunting, woodsbummin'), and it's just "oh, so sweet" to carry and shoot.
Guns are generally replaceable to some extent, but a few with sentimental value, or that have been altered to a point that would be difficult to duplicate are different. When one of these becomes highly treasured, it's not given up easily.
The Vaquero has been bead blasted to eliminate shine, sights calibrated to my hunting load, Wolff springs and a Belt Mtn base pin added to help tighten and smooth things up, as well as reduce the trigger pull, BC gap reduced to .002, action polished, and I made a set of larger-than-normal grips for it, shaped to fit my hand and allow natural aiming/pointing.
The grips are interesting, in that they look normal to the casual glance. The right side grip has a slight but rounded edge to it (a bit right of the steel backstrap) that fits the natural crease across the palm of my hand, allowing a consistent grip. Also, the front of the left grip is slightly thinner than the right so that my hand will pull the muzzle back to the right and line the sights up very naturally for me. These grips are also wider across the backstrap area to ease the felt recoil of heavy loads when I choose to shoot them. They also don't look too bad for a first-time at grip-making. The wood came from an old mesquite stump collected from a pile of dried out old stumps and such otherwise used for firewood.

That would very much depend on the situation, how I got to that point and what my needs would be then.

My two inch dao SP101. Masterful trigger job done on it. Can cover defense up to even some decent sized critters, easy to clean, break down and even work on. I love the thing.

The one that I was currently using to defend myself or my loved ones. That said, I would give up all of my handguns before I would part with my Model 7.
Boy threads like this just get harder and harder everytime. I think I still got to pick my Ruger 357 50th Anniversary that was custom tuned and fnished by
Bowen Classic Arms and Doug Turnbull. So far this has been my answer to threads like this for comming up to six years now.

Well, I would have to say "All of them!" I have gotten to the point where I have no guns that I am willing to part with.
After a lot of years I have acquired most of the handguns that I truly want. All but two of them are custom guns that simply could not be replaced easily. The two that are not customs are my Freedom Arms and my Uberti El Patron. Both of these were excellent from the factory with no need to modify in any way. There are a lot of things that would go before my handguns!
