Most accurate combat type 9mm?

I think you'll find that most pistols are accurate enough for self defence. I'd be much more concerned with relability.
 
In general, CZs are just above average in terms of being fired from a rest. I have seen plenty of BHPs that would beat your typical CZ 75B, for example. As a group, you often see better results from Berettas also.

In terms of "combat" or "instinctive shooting," the CZ really shines. I prefer it to even a BHP in this application, and the relative size and heft of the Beretta isn't comparable at all.

This isn't meant to be an overall assessment, so much as my general impressions. There are a lot of Central European 9mm models I have never shot, for example.
 
Right now my most accurate 9 is my Bersa Thunder 9. It was even more accurate than my XD9. But I would like to get a CZ75 like some of the others have talked about and give it a try. They claim it is a very accurate weapon.
 
I've shot many 9mm pistols, and a Browning Hi-Power was, by far, the most accurate, and the easiest to shoot of them all.

After that, Sig P226, CZ75, Glock 17, etc. are all accurate enough (usually more than the person shooting it).
 
In my experience, the most accurate is the CZ-85B fired in single action. Close runner up is the full size S&W M&P9.

From a Beretta 92FS, to a SIG P226, to an XD9, to a S&W 3913, to a Walther P99, they all been accurate enough to not have it matter much.
 
My Ruger P95 is very accurate slow fire. I find I am less accurate with it shooting fast than with a S&W M&P. But I suspect that could be different with a different shooter.

By the way, I agree with SkiNewMexico but still understand M4Coyote's interest.

It is interesting to see what you can "wring out of" a combat gun.

However, in the end, I care much more how fast I can put shots into a man sized target at defense distances than how well I can keep shots in the 10 ring at 25 yards...which is why I prefer my M&P to my Ruger P95.

Isn't using combat type and benchrest accuracy in the same sentance an oxymoron?

I really don't think that "bench rest accuracy" and "combat type" being mentioned in the same sentence is an oxymoron. I don't know about you, but I am always curious about the mechanical accuracy of just about any firearm I purchase.
