Either my trusty RIA 1911 or my Ruger Mark I at this point. While I have shot my other guns a little bit the majority of my time is spent on either of these two ...
 
Also a smith n wessOn N frame model 28 with a 6"'barrel. That thing will eat some hot 357s!
 
Have a lot, but my "use them all the time guns":

Duck/turkey/small game hunting - Remington 870 12ga
Deer hunting - Savage 110 .30-06
USPSA competition - S&W M&P 9L

Everything else gets shot occasionally as the mood catches me, but those are my core group that have specific purposes in life.
 
Range - Everything, that's why I have them all, a gun that doesn't shoot is just a doily... a lot of .22 because of the smiles per dollar
Home - usually a Walther P1 or 686+
Carry - S&W 242 or an LCP, sometimes a CZ-82 or a USP9
 
Fun and SD: Glocks of various flavors and an M&P 9c.
Hunting: Howas in 7mm Mag and .22-250.
 
Plinking: Browning Buckmark / CZ 452 American
Hunting: Remington Model Seven .308 / Mossberg 500 12 gauge
Field Carry: Ruger GP100 / S&W 629-1
CCW: Ruger LCP / S&W 3913 / Glock 23
 
Self Defense I depend on my M&P .357sig
cheap plinking i like my Ruger MKII 22/45
when i need my 1911 fix i love my STI Trojan or Fusion T-Comm
AR fun i like my M&P magpul edition
shotgun fun is hard to beat the good ol' mossberg

Work - Colt M4A1 MK18, Sig Sauer P226 .40S&W, 14" Benelli M1 Super, MP5SD, Rem 700 based Tango 51, Barret M82/M107, Robar RC 50. That about sums it up.

CCW/nightstand: Glock 26 with varying magazine size depending on the situation

Home defense / camping + woods gun: Winchester 1300 riot gun

Since proficiency is needed with all these I tend to shoot them the most and the others in my safe are occasional range toys.
 
Working guns are
Marlin 39A.22......For varmints around the place.
Winchester Model 12 20" 12 Ga......2 legged varmints
Marlin 336 30-30 16".....Larger and 2 legged varmints
S&W 640 .357 Mag.... Work carry gun
Springfield armory 1911 .45.... Weekend and evening carry.
S&W 686 .357 4"..... Wifes home protection handgun.

I have A variety of other guns but I don't get to hunt enough to call them working guns. Just range guns.
 
A 4" Smith 29, a Ruger 45 SA, Browing 1886 carbine, Winchester 94 carbine, Winchester 71, '03 Springfield sporter, commercial Mauser sporter in '06. Those get out the most. From daily carry, occasional carry in the mountains, to making meat. Several live in the truck regularly.
