Any of these actually...
That is a S&W 635-3 3 inch .45 ACP, S&W 66-1 2 1/2 .357, and Centennial .38.
And my trusty Glock 26.
Oh, and that J at the bottom is my 640 Centennial I got over 20 years ago. It's my summer gun (IWB appendix position) while the 26 is the winter gun (belt slide, behind the kidney position.)

All of mine. I don't buy garbage and I don't keep failures. Except the PPK, but I think it's cool and has some aesthetic value. Wouldn't bet my life on it though.

Trust my life with any glock to go boom when the trigger is pulled.

I trust them all or I wouldn't have them.

All of the ones I own except my Buckmark and an old Davis Derringer that I have for some reason.
I do have a P220 that I have more confidence in than most others, but it's for no good reason. Most of my pistols have never given me an issue at all, none have given me any issue in the last 500+ rounds. If they're problematic I don't keep them.

My Glock 19 and Glock 43.

I don't get the question. Of all the handguns I've carried or may be carrying now, I trust them all. It would be easier to name those I own that I do not have full faith in, and they do not get carried.
Some I own that truly impressed me after being purchased for defense, though, are the Bersa Thunder 380, the Kel-Tec PF9, the Bulgarian Makarov, and the Charter Arms Undercover (I have two of them, actually, from 1966 and 1987.)

Uh, the one I'm carrying.
I find that to be an odd question with a somewhat self-evident answer.
When I am carrying a self-defense gun, then I am trusting it with my life.

I trust my life with all of the guns I have for concealed carry and home defense. Tried and true, 100% reliable or else I wouldn't have them around. Right now my CCW/HD rotation consist of a KelTec P3AT, SIG P238, Kahr CM9, S&W Model 638, S&W Model 649, and a SIG P229R.

I trust all in my rotation. Kahr cw45, pm9. Colt cobra, s&w m37, and bodyguard 380 . I trust my Beretta 84bb but don't carry it anymore.

The Russian Makarov which has been 100% reliable for 25 years. The Taurus 4" 357 and 2" 38 which have been 100% reliable for 15 years. The Browning High Power which has been 100% reliable for 25 years.
I don't care all that much who manufactured it. If I have had it for over a decade and it has gone bang every single time I pulled the trigger, I trust it.

I don't know how many guns I've owned in my life. I've never had one that didn't work well enough to "trust my life" to it, and I've owned everything from a Hi-Point 9mm, to a Colt Python to a couple of S&W 44 Magnums. They all worked just like they were supposed to.
Now if you're asking what I carry right now, it's an old Colt Cobra 38.
But I don't think it's any better than the S&W 642 it replaced. I just like blue/wood guns better.

It would be easier to pick the handguns I own that I don't trust my life with. Most of my handguns are very reliable and chambered sufficiently for my needs.

Every one I own has been "trustworthy." I wouldn't carry one that wasn't.
Agree, it's an oddly stated question.

My USP Compact .40 has never malfunctioned in thousands of rounds.
I don't trust my later gen 3 Glock 17 as it's prone to stovepipe with 115gr ammo, and ejects erratically. Supposedly the ejector can be swapped for a gen 4 part to improve it, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. It seems to me that with the stiff recoil spring they use from the factory, they're optimized for hotter rounds (NATO spec 124gr?).

All of them but one.
And I keep that one around because it was a gift and its fun to shoot.
Carry gun is either a sig 239, SAA clone (when up in the hills) or a smith k frame.
They all go bang when I pull the trigger...
I find that the problem is with the shooter, but I am getting better!
