Work out your own scenario--whether it's the bullseye to win the tournament, the bad guy in your house with your daughter as a hostage, Saddam Hussein in your sights, etc.--which is the semi-auto that you want in your hand for that single shot? That one shot with no margin for error and no chance for a "re-do"? Miss and you're out (or your daughter's dead, or the madman gets away, whatever), delivered from 30 feet in normal lighting conditions and a tremendous amount of tension resting on the outcome of a perfect shot...
For me, if the chips were down and I only had one shot for all the marbles, it wouldn't be any of my most expensive weapons. It would be my 9mm CZ-75B with S&B ammo. Inexpensive gun, inexpensive ammo, but for some reason, with that combination I can bear down and deliver 5 rounds into a dixie cup.
What's your choice of weapon and ammo?
