I like (in this order):

CZ-75
FNP/X series
Sig P226/8/9
HK USP

For SA shooting, the CZ is hard to beat. FN high power might also be on that list but the price... The sig series does DA very well. The FNP/X pistols do both well.

The USP is a very reliable weapon but the trigger was just meh for an $800 handgun.

Nothing wrong with a 1911 of reputable quality but I've always thought of them as nostalgic pieces lacking the high capacity and reliability of the others - unless you're going for a $900+ pistol.

Just my opinion. I know that some people love 1911s...if it works for you and peace of mind comes with 7/8 rounds then more power to you. Also, most are SAO which puts them out of this conversation.

I have yet to see another HK with a trigger like my custom modified P2000 V3 .357sig; about 1/8" and 2.5lbs:
