The Glock 19 and a 1911 are two I think everyone should at least try out.

Very good point!!! But if you must trade, after that deal keep one Beretta, and trade the other one for a basic, bare bones 1911. Unless you want to become a dedicated "collector", it doesn't have to be a genuine milsurp 1911 which will save you mucho bucks. You will however have examples of US military sidearms from 1911 to the current date. Besides, when it comes down to your original queation, a 1911 is a handgun that every shooter should have,

Pistols "everyone should own"
For a literal answer, and not one brought about by the OP's personal example. #1. 1911 #2. Browning High Power #3. Beretta 92 #4. CZ75 #5. Glock (Full size, preferably a 17 because it started it all) #6. Ruger MK series 22 rimfire (Every shooter has to have a good 22)
