The "Perfect Pistol" - how would you design one?

I whould start with a solid tungsten carbide frame,(infact all metal parts whould be comprized of tungsten carbide) built close to the same specs' of the Springfield XD40 subcompact, with the exception that it be chambered in .357 Sig. 9rds in the clip and one in the pipe whould be more then sufficient for my ammo needs, not to brag but I'm one hell of a marksmen. Two extra clips and I'd be ready to take on the world.(BTW,tungsten is very heavy,much more so then steel;so if in the unlikely event I have expended all my ammo and my target still poses a threat I could resort to beating them with the gun itself.)
My perfect pistol was manufactured at one point, and then they went out of business. And then back into business........And then back out of business again........And in a few months, back into business again. I would really like a 1911 style .357 mag. Dan Coonan made the Coonan .357, but like I said, in/out/in/out. The originals are too expensive, So I'm goung to try to pick up a new one when they come out later this year.
The Grendel P30 is the inspiration.
Imagine an ordinary looking single action steel framed .22 lr pistol. Nothing terribly fancy. The kicker would be a 30 round flush fitting magazine, with extended 50 round magazines available.
It would have good sights, a good trigger, and a relatively sharp grip angle since I find it more comfortable.

45 ACP: with...you know what really I just like the 1911 the only changes that I would do is make it easier for me to eject the mag. Or even the 45 ACP HP is a nice idea just what ever you do get rid of that useless mag disconect!
9mm: A combo of a CZ-75 and a HP with the SA of the HP,the use of the early steel of the 75 and ammo capacity, give it Novac sights, and lastly move the mag eject (see a pattern?
)
357mag: Take a blued N frame S&W increase the amount to 8 (if possable), add easy to see non adjustable sights, ballance it so that its not so barrel heavy, give it nice dark walnut standard grips, and make it a 4 in.
38 Sp: Take a blued K frame S&W ballance it, give it nice dark walnut standard grips, and make it a 4 in....in fact I've already got that never mind.

It's already been designed.
It's called the Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver, 4" barrel, .357 Magnum chambering.
Nothing else even comes close.

9mm
3 barrels
each barrel has a 30 rd magazine
16 in barrel or less
shoulder stock which is removable
Basically 3 glock 17s somehow connected with a single trigger mechanism which causes all 3 to fire at once. The side guns would be angled and a convergance point would be made to be adjustable for max damage.
Hey, it could happen!

I thought about this for all of 30 seconds. A double stack hard chromed Kahr. Same look except fatter of course, same trigger, same manipulation, no manual safety, lots more rounds, same reliability.
And of course, the other requirement is a companion carbine which uses the same mags and any parts interchangeability is a major +.

For me, it is really hard to imagine a more perfect pistol than a 1911.
I'd be all over that for sure!Sparks2112

As would I, and many other people.
I am pretty easy and realistic. I just want some slight variations on existing models.
1 - Ruger GP100 3inch 7 shot
2 - Single stack Glock 26
3 - Smith and Wesson 325 Nightguard without that friggen lock. For that matter all Smiths sans lock
4 - Small frame 6 shot revolver in the vein of the Colt Detective
