Assuming the program were open to non-residents and the paperwork coming and going across the border is squared away...
Only change from what I carry down here now with a 5" 1911 .45 hip/shoulder and a 5.56 AR pistol in my briefcase would be to remove the two 40-round mags and the D-60 drum from the latter when headed up there and replace them with several more 10's.
Yes, there are higher capacity platforms out there, but if I only get ten per mag I want 'em to count. You can't launch enough misses, or miss fast enough, to win a fight... to each their own, but my answer is always "you use what best fits you, and I'll use what gets the best results for me."

Out of the pistols I own, I think I would go with my CZ 85 Combat. I just love the feel in my hands. It's also not too heavy and it shoots well. I do have a lighter pistol that is nice, a FN 509, but I prefer the CZ in my hands. Plus, I like the single/double action and safety. Not to mention the trigger which is really nice. This thread makes me dream...
With a 8 round mag, one in, you have 9.
I would carry my 1911, but it is heavy, my favorite is my tuned model 19 smith with a short barrel, A bit old school.
I do have a P220R which is a bit lighter, and shorter, I don't really use it as I am more a 1911 fellow.
Maybe a PPK in 380?

My next pistol purchase will be the FN FNX .45 tac, I love the FN's lines and feel. I wanted the 509 but at the time could only afford the sd9 and upgraded the trigger and springs and its a glock 19 with the s&w logo and a tag heavier trigger.

I'd use what I carry in the U.S. (where my permit is recognized), Beretta 90-two 9mm carried iwb. I never use the safety. I've also used my Kimber pro carry .45.

If we are dreaming, plasma weapon in 40 megawatt range, Kate Beckinsale circa underworld catsuit.
It's nice to have choice, and I would use what I have, (if I thought I needed to).
First Choice: Norc NZ58. It eats everything without missing a beat, I shoot it very accurately and with the CZ grips, it is super comfortable, and not too heavy.
Second Choice: All Steel Jericho in .40. It to runs flawlessly, is accurate, but is heavier, and seems more cumbersome than the the NZ
Third: 1911. Rare feeding problems, but they do happen. Diminished capacity. Also accurate.
4th: Ruger GP100: while this is the pistol I shoot the most accurately, and the one that fits and comes so easily to hand, the diminished capacity, and for me, slower reloads put it in last place as a defensive pistol. What it does have going for it is when you run out of speed loaders, it's not not like running out of mags; you can still load the cylinder by hand.
