Handgun forum
Seems alot of folks don't even read the OP
1) Plinking/Fun= Sig Trailside. Ever since I got it running smoothly, it goes to the range every time.
2) Utility/Woods= When not carrying a long gun, it's usually my .40cal. CZ75 with me in the woods
3) Home Defense= the GP100 for HD.
4) Conceal Carry= No CC in WI.......yet.
5) One you can't live with out.= That's a tough one, Since I only own 4 handguns The CZ or the GP100 could pull triple duty for the first three. Wouldn't want to rely on the little 22s for defense

1) Plinking/Fun
CZ-75B with Kadet Kit, plink with 9mm or 22lr.
2) Utility/Woods
CZ 527 7.62x39mm 527M carbine with low power fast scope or irons, light manueverable, handy, accurate
3) Home Defense/End of the world
Two different answers, home defense would be a nice CZ SP-01 Phantom with flashlight/laser attachment, 19 rounds on tap before mag change. EOTWAWKI, well, I doubt I'd last too long in that time, but I'll take my vz-58 7.62x39mm with Blackhawk chest pouch and many, many loaded magazines.
4) Conceal Carry
CZ P-01 9mm in either HBE or Hazel leather
5) One you can't live with out.
This one will surprise you - Smith Model 10-8, will hopefully stay in the family forever. Inheritance revolver from my stepfather. Very accurate, fun to shoot, goes to my son when I croak. Now I need to find some grips that will let a 10 year old hold/fire it safely - Pachmeyer Presentations on it, came with it.

1) Plinking/Fun...........Any of my .22 rifles
2) Utility/Woods.........Any of my .22 rifles (hunting) M4 otherwise
3) Home Defense=Glock 21SF
4) Conceal Carry.....Springfield XD-45
5) One you can't live with out......I guess the last gun I would want to part with is my grandfather's service revolver, a Colt Officer's Model Target .38, for sentimental reasons.

Handguns only, and in my current collection:
Fun/Plinking. Walther P22. Not my most accurate rimfire pistol, but just plane FUN to shoot.
So many post are including long arms, I'll make this addition.
Plinking/Fun...Same
Utility/Woods Savage Mod 24 22Mag/20 Ga.
Home Defense... Mossberg 590A1 Adjustable 9 shot.
One I can't live without...Same

I'm going with handguns that I already have, not ones I'd like to have or wish I had.
1) Plinking/Fun:
AMT Hardballer Long Slide... because it's the most accurate center fire semi-auto that I own. When it comes to hole punching and can bustin', nothing in the world is more fun than accuracy and repeatability and I can drive tacks with this pistol and 200gr LSWC's.
2) Utility/Woods:
Ruger Mark II... because it's accurate, reliable, and great for this kind of role. But the truth is, I'm just not a hunter. So when I'm in the woods, I'm carrying my EDC. But that's in another category, so I'll put my KMK-512 in this one.
3) Home Defense:
S&W 1006... I like it in this role because it's got a factory magazine disconnect. I can keep it with a chambered round and a magazine elsewhere in the room. I like this setup for a pistol at the ready when I'm asleep.
4) Conceal Carry:
Glock 29 with night sights and Pearce Grip extension on my magazines. This is my EDC and I'm accurate and confident with it and it's reliability is unparalleled in my modest collection of semi-autos. I'm really satisfied with my ability to shoot this pistol quickly and accurately.
5) One you can't live with out:
Difficult to answer this one... I love a bunch of 'em. But if I lost any single one of them, my EDC is the one I'd need replaced immediately because it's the one that I have on me all the time. Hate to use one twice, but that's how it is. If we are just going with irrational love for a handgun, I'd go with my 6-inch 686 dash 3, .357 Mag. First handgun I ever bought with my own dough. Paper route money, actually.
