It depends on what you require. I for example will not own any more semis that don't have a hammer safety. So Glocks, XDs, etc are never going to be on my list.
I'd get the HK USP with the safety if I had that much money. That being said, I bought a Taurus 24/7 pro and it fits my requirements quite nicely.
Others I would consider would be the Browning Hi Power, the FN FNP9 with the single action safety, or a 9m 1911.

Take a look at the Beretta 9000s 12+ 1 in the pipe. They are not very popular. I don't know if Beretta makes them anymore. Picked one up for $300.00 NIB. 2 months ago. Put 1500 rounds thru it so far no problems at all. It functions perfectly even with 10 year old reloads.
The HK USP is an excellent choice. And I actually meant I won't own a semi anymore that does not have a safety that locks the trigger from being fired. I can envision way to many real world scenarios where that could be bad, and I've always trained with pistols that have those types of safeties, so deactivating one before firing is pretty natural for me.
