Haven't had much cause to shoot many hand gun models. Just the ones I own and have rented at the range.
So my list is pretty limited in scope.
XDm/XD's = My first and favorite 9mm
Beretta 92 = Shot it in the USMC. Hated it then, but I didn't have a frame of reference. I've since realized it was a very fine weapon, I just had a crappy beat up, abused military model. And it still fired every round I put thru it.
Glock 17/19 = I've only shot the range rentals. No idea what round count but they were inaccurate(in my hands at least) and I did not like the triggers at all.
And... That's it for 9mm's I've had a chance to shoot. I did get a chance to shoot a Beretta Cougar in .40 cal from a buddy. I was a horrible shot with it.
But I enjoy reading(and rereading every 6 months) this thread and I've put several new models on my "must try list"
Namely:
Browning Hi-Power
CZ-75B (I was actually considering getting this one before I bought into the XD's)
FNP-9
Glock 17 or 19
I know it's top 5, and I don't own many guns. But if I had to pick one at this point, it's a Sig P226. It's balance and consistency is so good it's not even fair, even for my xdm.
Btw to the guy who said the makrov, it's not a 9x19 parrabellum it's a 9x18mm which at least from what i can tell from my cz82 is outdated badly im looking at selling it. But I just don't know if you pressed the wrong key or not but wanted to get that out there.

1: HK P7 series
2: Sig P210
3: Glock series
4: Sphinx series
5: CZ series
I have shot many 9 MMs and these are my favorites. As a certified firearms instructor and a Range Master you get to fire all kinds of weapons. Isn't it great to be in a country that you can own and shoot these works of art?
If you ask me, part of the "best" title goes to affordability and service life. A 3 thousand dollar pistol hardly qualifies.
There is no doubt that the Sphinx and P210 are well made, but they don't have the service record of 9mms like the P226, Hi-Power or even the 92F Beretta.
A Bentley might also be a finely made car, but the ES Lexus will get you there in plenty of style, for much less money and less headaches.
