I agree.
I would opt for a Glock 19 in 9mm, or a Glock G30S in .45. Both are top contenders in their respective calibers/cartridges.
That said, if you don't want a Glock, there are lots of other great choices.
In the traditional double action category, the CZ-75 or a variant would be a top choice.
In .45 traditional double action, an HK 45 compact would do very well.
In single action 1911 category, unless a person is willing to step up into the custom/semi custom category, like a Les Baer or Ed Brown, I would choose a Colt every time.
