My nod for the best value today is the Springfield Mil-Spec line. GI if you can use the sights...Standard Mil-Spec if you need bigger ones. They seem to have recurring extractor problems from time to time...which is cheap and easy to correct if the need arises...but for the most part they're very good.
Do a search for "Springfield Torture test" to see what kinda hell I put a GI
through about two years ago. Not for the squeamish...
The pistol now rides on my hip as part of my 5 gun carry rotation. As anal as I am over reliability...that says a lot.
