If I was in a hot zone I would pick a 1911/.45 mainly because that's what I have used the most.
I'd trust any weapon I own. Otherwise, I wouldn't have them. If I had to choose, it would be a toss-up between the Springfield 1911 and the M&P 9.
My Beretta PX4 Storm .40cal. Light weight, stealthy and holds a lot of rounds.
I know the 1911a1 will do it's job.
I voted Glock, but I would be very happy to have a Ruger on my hip as well, and I'm fond of my S&W third generations as well.
springfield xd 45 no cocking involved just point and fire
I don't have a choice right now, so I carry the issue M9/Beretta 92. It's an adequate weapon for its role, since pistols are almost meaningless in the context of military combat.
Given my druthers, I'd have a Glock, which is what I carry back home in Arizona. But any of the 9mm-and-up semiautos you list would be fine.

colt 1911
what I'm comfortable with.
Xd9
Something very accurate, powerful enough, and with a steel frame. In an automatic, condition one capable. In a revolver, DA and swing-out cylinder. American made preferred.
A REMOTE CONTROLL.
If I anticipate a bad situaton then I will stay home and watch TV.
When you cary a gun, you are preparing for a bad situation. Whatever you are most frequently wearing is what you are most likely to have.
That being said my primary carry is a 4 1/4" 1911 (soon to transition to a .357 mod 19)

H&K USP Compact .40, I have used it in hot situations time and time again with no failure and perfect accuracy. My Beretta PX4 is growing on me though.
4" Service Model XD45. This black pistol has become my favorite sidearm.
I voted other, I want any thing that goes kaboom when the shit hits the fan.
My all-time favorite is the quad fifty mounted on the M5 halftrack.

I didn't vote because I think one should use what ever they are comfortable with so they hit what they're aiming for. I also didn't vote because I didn't see a bazooka as an option.
I chose a Glock. Reliable out of the box.
I changed my mine. I would use a 16" gun mounted to my SUV like this one.

For me, my 1911 Colt Commander 45. When I shoot my new 1911 Colt Commander LW in 38 Super and feel comfortable with it.
I checked "other".
Doesn't matter who's shooting at you, or who you're shooting at, shooting stops at the sound of a .50 AE.
Usually.
