I love my XD's so I have to throw them in there like a couple of posts above. I'll deviate by saying my XD9sc though. Shoots and feels just like my Service, but smaller...
I LOVE my Ruger P95. It's a simple gun that doesn't seem to get a lot of attention, but for what you have to pay for it, I'd argue it being the best value out there. I've shot quite a few other 9s (and others who have other 9s have shot mine) and the P95 measures up to guns that cost double it's price tag as far as quality, comfort and shoot ability. You're not going to carry it probably, but it's a fine weapon.
