I'll play with a novice offering:

I hope it is a Glock 19 as I have one.
I'll settle for a GP100 a I plan to get one.

However, if you are talking solid build, reliable shooting and proven through service, then why not consider the all steel IWI Jericho 941 in 9mm?

9mm will not subject a gun to the same forces as a .45 despite being built to also chamber .41. The Jericho was allegedly designed to also serve as a blunt force instrument hence its mass, it has seen service for some time and owner reviews on the civvy circuit seem to suggest they don't break, have a great trigger and aren't ammo fussy...

and, oh.... did I mention that I almost bought one?
