The CZ-75.................
I just bought my step-mom a Glock Gen5 17 last week. Improved grip. Only complaint is the slide release bar that like all Glocks is too flush and nearly impossible to grip.
I like the P226 in 9mm
and the H&K USP in 45
The CZ-75.................
I think the FNX .45 deserves an honorable mention.
A Springfield XDS is my daily carry. Wonderful little gun. Fits my hand very well. 6 rounds of .45.
I prefer it over the Glock.
Love my Kimber but it’s just too big for EDC.

NK 9 m?
I carry SIG’s but have a weak spot in my heart for old Browning Hi-Powers. While I don’t carry it my CZ-75 just has such a good feel to. The Hi-Power influence on the CZ-75 is easy to see and feel.

I would be happy as could be with any of them but if forced to take just one, it would be the SIG P226.
I was issued and carried a .38 Special in Vietnam.
The M & P is on my buy-when-I-can-afford-it list.
“In 2012, the U.S. Marine Corps Marine Special Operations Command adopted the Colt M45A1, an updated version of the 1911A1, as its standard handgun.”
Good enough for me.
Buy American.
***the CZ 75 failed to gain adherents until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.***
What do you mean “failed to gain adherents”! Gun magazines at the time were full of praises for the CZ-75 and some tried to make copies of it here in the USA. I actually saw one at a gun show with a HUGE price on it back in the mid 1980s.
Tanfoglio of Italy produced a very good copy of it but I found the trigger to be creepy and the grip too big for my hand. Otherwise it worked well, when the front sight did not fly off.
Right now, you can get a plastic framed Turkish SAR version which fits my hand well, but still has the creepy trigger.
Not a bad semi-auto list. I prefer the G19 over the G17, but just because its shorter. I think the Springfield XD is better thought out than the M&P but that’s splitting hairs over features. Glock, M&P, XD are all pretty much on par with each other. Never had a CZ so cant comment on that. Seems like a 1911 copy and I’d prefer the 1911. I am not crazy about double action/single action like the Sigs, but its good to have one just to train double/single action in case that’s all you have around.
I’d love to have a Sig but my budget only allowed for a S&W M&P .45. I also have a S&W Shield in 9mm for carry because a full size .45 is too large to conceal.
Glock 19.
I like my Kimber .45.
Well, got two out of the five, though the Glock is a .45. makes ammo logistics more simple with the 1911 to use the same.
