The semi that fit's my hand the best and is a natural pointing shooter is a browning DBA 380. It's just point and shoot it hits where you point. I'm sure there are many who would disspell the calibre, but it holds 13 and my response is if it's so bad just how many of them would you want to stop? No one seems to want to argue the point.   :dunno:

I guess another answer is the one you have in your hand if you ever need it!!  :chuckle:

The best handgun I've ever owned is my wife's S&W .357 revolver. It has never not gone bang when the trigger is pulled on a loaded cylinder. Can't say that for any other semi auto I've ever shot.

Kimber Grand Raptor II! Never had a FTF and it is very accurate.

FNP-40 - Never had a FTF - Not quite as accurate as the Kimber but still very good.

Kimber tactical pro in 45 acp.  I qualify the caliber cause this is one model they make in 9mm.  I imagine the 9mm is absolutely amazing. 

Hands down the most comfortable to shoot and most accurate handgun I have ever shot.

Hey Austrian Hunter, i am watching this topic with interest, and I am looking for some kind of trend in the answer.  Do you see a trend?  I don't!  Every single answer is different.  I guess that you are just going to have to check out a dozen+ sidearms, and make your own decision.
