Everyone will have a different idea of what is, to them, fitting of the description:
What I see posted in this thread are SOLID guns that run well, bring decent accuracy and can be bought for reasonable money. And that is great, who doesn't love something that fits that mold?! I certainly do.
I just can't see using terms like the quoted text for that. It kind of seems like they deliver what you had hoped they would... not some kind of DROP-JAW, outrageous, "WHY doesn't the world know about this?!?!?!" kind of handgun.
Of all the handguns I own and play with, the one that best describes one that is simply well ABOVE the basic
"works, runs, shoots good, relatively unknown and YEAH, I'm happy with it" handgun has to be my Tanfoglio Elite Match 9mm. Branded EAA by the importer, this is the lowest of the "custom shop" models offered by Tanfoglio. It is single action only and the trigger and accuracy simply BLOW AWAY what folks have come to expect and accept from most 9mm full size handguns on the market today. And though they are not the easiest pistols to find and buy... street price is under $700.
I own only a single handgun that I can out-shoot my Tanfoglio Elite Match with, and that's a hand-built Smith & Wesson PC gun that likely runs roughly three times the price, is YEARS out of production and only a handful of them were ever made. And that is an 8+1 full target .45cal pistol. The Elite Match is a 17+1 9mm that would probably give it a closer run for the money if it had serious target sights on it. (it does not)
To me, the Elite Match answers the OP's question. It is not just a "solid gun for low money." And it's digested over 4,500 rounds so I'm not in the "honeymoon phase."
