CZs
I have a duo-tone (satin nickel frame with blued steel slide) CZ75B in .40 and also one of the new CZ40B's. Both have thus far proven immensely strong and utterly reliable, having fired somewhere around 1500 rounds through them without a single malfunction. If you're used to (and like) the 1911 ergonomics, try the CZ40B, which originated with an abandoned joint venture with CZ and Colt.
