The Glock...
I have used the following brands of handguns Glock, Sig, and H&K (semi). I have also spent time with Taurus, Colt and Smith & Wesson (revolver). It has been a few years but the Sig and H&K stood out for their ilk and I think it was a Titanium Taurus that I liked for CCW size.
Opinions on any of the above. I am sure by now they have all switched up their lines and their offerings are vastly different than the late 90's.

I don't like Taurus very much because their low end stuff is really, really cheaply made. I do own a Taurus .357 magnum revolver though which I got at an awesome price. It is an OK gun - but I don't think I would mind getting rid of it at this point.

Wish we could have handguns in this country :(

SIG makes awesome firearms. I never owned one, but did have an opportunity to shoot some of the SIG rifles...they are really excellent.

Glock, Sig, HK
^^ can't go wrong with any of those. All have pro's and con's and comes down to the best fit for you, but regardless they will all fire no matter what you do to them.
Personally i choose Glock above all else.
Edit: I'll delve more into this tonight, i got too much work to do before class, i shouldn't even be on here.

I've shot a glock, beretta, and a generic range gun (all 9mm). I was slightly more accurate with the beretta (I think because of the soft trigger) but I liked the glock better. It has a really stiff trigger so it's probably harder to accidentally shoot an innocent bystander in the case that someone goes on a homicidal rampage and you pull your gun to be a hero*
*sorry, couldn't resist.
-
It should be noted that i HATE the stock trigger weight of the Glock. It comes as a 5.5# pull, and mine has been changed to the 3.5# connector.
Dammit i swear this time i'm not coming back lol
-
I have a browning 525 double-barreled shotgun - pretty much the only firearm you can get here without too much bother (still need license, police check, home visit...etc)

Bought a new rifle :D
Mosin Nagant 91/30 (Izhevsk, hex reciever). Fires 7.62x54R rounds. Needs a bit of work for it's age but its complete, solid, and safe to fire. Scooped it from a guy just cleaning house for $50
-
I had that gun in Call of Duty 1
It's a fun gun :) Can't wait to fire it

yah, that's a nice CC gun. I need to get my CC Permit finally.

Just because or for some particular reason?

Just because or for some particular reason?
Is that question for Jake about why he wants a carry permit, or for me, as to why I want this M&P performance center 9mm Shield?
For me, I've been wanting a carry pistol that prints a little less than my full frame and is maybe a little more comfortable to wear. I've been looking at the shield for about a year now and just watched a bunch of youtube videos on this new "performance center" model with the ported barrel and slide.
-
For Jake with the CC. Though, if you want to answer why you want to carry I'm happy to hear it as well.

I have no grandiose illusions or fantasies of being an action hero and no desire to ever be confronted with a situation that requires deadly self defense. I also realize that such occasions are rare and hopefully I'll go my entire life without ever encountering any such scenarios. Further more, I understand that pulling out a firearm often makes situations worse for oneself and that I am also probably a horrible shot under pressure and as such, I'm much more likely to run away or comply in any foreseeable self defense situation.
That said, I'd rather be prepared to defend myself or family in a no-hope situation than become an defenseless victim.
I don't actually carry all that often. I don't bring my gun to work and we live near (and regularly cross) a state border so I usually don't always carry when just out doing errands. It more like sometimes I holster up when I think about it or when I'm running out to the convenience store late at night. Most of the people I know who carry aren't cowboys or macho-wannabe's either. They're just regular middle/upper-middle class suburbanites who you would never know have a firearm on them.

Thanks for answering.
