My 5.7 x 28......not much recoil and 20 rounds

Out of all my guns, the most effective at blowing an accurate rapid fire hole in the target is a CZ-82. The recovery and reset times seem to match perfectly for a sewing machine-like stitch.

One with "lo to no" recoil will allow for the fastest follow up shots.

Good Question OP.
There are so many variables and there a lot of guns I haven't shot. You didn't restrict the question to self defense guns, so I'm sure the fastest would be a 22 or a 9mm race gun.
If you take 22s and race guns out of the question, I would have to say my CZ75 P-01. I had an SR9c at one time, and it stayed on line with very little flip. The Walther P99AS has a very short reset (as does the PPQ) and they are very easy to shoot quickly. Once you adjust to their slightly higher bore axis, they also shoot accurately. My son's Glock 19 is also very good at follow-up shots. The G17 would probably be even better.
No matter which gun you shoot fastest, you will shoot it faster and more accurately with good practice sessions and remembering the adage, "slow is smooth, smooth is fast"

9mm P226, M11-A1 & P239 , all with SRT are my best for centerfire speed and accuracy.

Glock 19
+1
The 226 beats out the m11-a1 slightly. But the SRT turned mine into a bullet hose compared to the factory equipped trigger. Can almost drum taps into a 10" plate at 10yds.
^^^ Slightly exaggerated.
But the fasted i can shoot is the rim fire Mark III Hunter. With the weight of the bull barrel it nearly never leaves point of aim.

24 responses before someone named mine, which is the Ruger Mk-II..
In a centerfire caliber, I'm pretty impressed with my Ruger P-95, especially with 115-grain rounds. I do far better with it now than I did 20 years ago with its predecessor, the P-85.

Without target size, distance and most importantly, split times (time between shots) this thread is fairly pointless.
Accuracy and distance are easy to define, but "fast" is not.
Most people have no idea what "fast" really is , what it really looks like or how hard it is to achieve it. They go on "feeling" and perception. Since they don't know what "fast" is, their feeling and perception of "fast" is skewed.
We need split times.

I agree with the others who said shootin is shootin and if you have good trigger control and grip the handgun correctly you should be able to shoot them all well. That said I can shoot quickly and accurately with my Springfield 1911 and S&W M&P. I would think that's because I shoot them a lot so I'm comfortable with those handguns.
At one point I was really practicing a lot with my M&p 9C because I was considering IDPA. Standing static, not moving of course, I used a shot timer and was shooting .15-.17 second shot splits with my M&P. I think that was pretty fast considering I was keeping them all in the black. It took a lot of ammo to get to that speed for me. I think just about any pistol can be shot pretty quickly with enough practice. Remember Jelly Bean Bryce from FBI fame once kicked in a door and shot a gangster 5 times in the face with his 44 spl revolver. It is truly the shooter not the pistol that is fast.
BTW, for those that don't get it I'm not advocating 44 spl revolvers for fast shooting nor am I saying the pistol doesn't matter. It does, but shooting quickly and accurately is much more dependent on skill and proficiency than the pistol. I was on the range one day an the guy next to me was shooting a 38 super race gun with a red dot. I was shooting my AMT Hardballer. We were shooting about the same speed and distance. When he brought the target back his hits were ALL OVER the paper. All mine were on target. I wasn't a very good shooter back in those days I'm simply saying the gun couldn't overcome really bad shooting.

My FN 5.7, it's not even close. In the interest of full disclosure the range where I shoot is typical in that "rapid fire" is prohibited but I've torn a ragged hole in the center of a lot of targets with one 20+10 round extender magazine and firing at approximately one per second. There have been a few times when I finished the mag and half expected a warning for pushing the envelope on time between shots but I suppose as long as I'm staying in control of the gun and on target they're okay with it.
