This is an impossible question to answer with any certainty and without bias. This is like saying "What's the best car ever made?" or "Who's the hottest woman ever?" Sure, there would be countdowns and lists and whatnot, but there is just no way you can answer a question like this. The best gun, the most proven gun, whatever, is the one you shoot the best and is most reliable for you. If you have a Kel Tec 380 that has never jammed or had a problem and you can shoot with it, it's better than a $3000 custom 1911 that you can't shoot well enough to hit the broad side of a barn from the inside. You also have not set forth any guidelines. CCW, hunting, silhouette shooting? There are way too many variables and too much bias to even hazard a guess on this.
