These re my favorites in order for personal defense;
HK P7M8 9mm
S&W 8 shot, 5 inch 357
Wilson 1911 Super Grade .45ACP
Wilson 1911 Super Grade 9mm
Ed Brown Cobra Cary Light Weight 45ACP
S&W Scandnium J Frame 357

For range use;
Sig X6 226 9mm
S&W 41 22lr
Glock 34 9mm

I have the Glock 34 o the list but mostly because I am playing with a red dot sight on it. I shot a Sig 320 and was very under whelmed.
