Glocks are fine weapons, but not everyone likes shooting one. All of the major brands are fine -- Smith, CZ, Ruger, FN, HK, and a bunch that aren't coming to mind right now. Just beware spending too little on a gun. Check reviews on those minor brand pistols pretty thoroughly before you buy one. Some of them are great (eg, Canik), some are iffy (eg, Kel-tec), and some are pretty unreliable.
Hands down, the 92. Current flavor is an LTT Centurion, and I have found running the dot to be far superior. However, that’s because I got truly serious on an M9 that was subsequently Langdonized not quite five years ago. I’ve put thousands of rounds down the pipe of three different 92’s I’ve had. Could I switch to a PX4? I could, but it would require many months of learning curve to feel even remotely as effective with it. I would say next behind the 92 is either a PX4 or the P320. I do indeed like how the 320 fits me, and my wife is carrying it, so I feel I need to also maintain a level of competency with it.
The one gun I can shoot plenty accurately but I’ve just never gotten along with the trigger is Glock. The dingus has always messed with me when running drills or at speed.
For a single 'cold' precision shot at 25+ yards, my 4in S&W 29-2. If it had to be a semiauto, my G2 G21 with a Jarvis barrel and Trijicons is inexplicably more accurate than it should be.
For an IDPA stage or similar, I've felt my best with Beretta 92 variants. But the timer and targets shows better results with misc 9mm Glocks, especially G5's. I'm hoping to put in a lot more work this year at the range, and start doing regular competitions/events etc when I can.
Sig P229 for hammer-fired
S&W M&P 2.0 w/ new trigger dingus for striker-fired.
Springfield XDm10 4.5 OSP for groups. Canik TP9SFx for competition.
I can tell you the pistol I don't shoot the best is a Glock 19/17 or any variation thereof. The handgun I have shot the best in the past, by every metric I could measure, is a toss-up between a full-size 45 ACP 1911 and a TDA Sig 226.
I haven't shot enough in the last two years to be a good judge of what I currently shoot the best. I recently started investing all my shooting and dryfire time into a LEM HK P30 and P30sk. I don't know if I'll ever get as good with them as I was with a 226, but I'm pretty happy with them for daily carry. Enough so that I want to pick up another P30 to practice with.

My genuine answer is the most recent one I’ve put 2000 rounds through. For me nothing else really matters.
9apps
In general, 1911’s and Staccato’s…….Beretta 92’s a distant second…..
YMMV
Best,
