Since I'm finished laughing, I'll weigh in. Based on personal experience-

SIG: Love em. On my second one, and nary an issue.

Ruger P-series: Not fancy, sure as hell not pretty, but no gripes.

Glock: If you treat your pistol like you treat your lawnmower, buy a Glock. Apparently the Austrians have not heard of ergonomics.

HK: They shoot good, but they're waaaaay too proud of their shit.

S&W autos: The M&P is the first one they've gotten right.

All are IMHO of course. Let the games begin...
