My 2011s, for sure.
Glock. The large square grip gives me the most consistent tracking and the rolling trigger gives me the best slow fire groups and least honked shots at speed.
If "best" is defined as "one chance to make a hit at any distance up to fifty yards", my 1964 A54 Ruger Standard RST6 is the choice. Untold thousands of rounds through this pistol allow for very precise shooting. If "best" is defined as a pistol I would carry for self-defense, it is the customized Kimber Warrior currently in my holster.
Ruger P89
Glock Gen 3 G19 with Leupold DeltaPoint Micro RDS
Ruger Blackhawk
Ruger Security Six
Guns that I have that I know are exceptionally accurate, but I'm still a work in progress with them:
HK P30L V1.5 LEM
Glock Gen 3 G21
Beretta 92D

In this context, wouldn’t it mean the pistol you shoot better than the others you have fired, across similar metrics?
For me, or depends on what I have been practicing with, though I have a MK3 22/45 that consistently somehow allows me to shoot better than I am able, so maybe that’s my best answer.
A Government Model 45 or a Glock 34.
S&W 686, GP100s are also very good for me. Slightly behind this are full-sized 1911 Government Models.

Without having objective performance metrics, subjective and fallible memory says my best pistol accuracy has come from my H&K P7 PSP and an early-production Springfield EMP.
If the former were still in production, I might still be carrying one. Yeah, I'd have to take four identical guns to a class and shoot one while the other three cooled, but the ergonomics just work for me in a way that nothing else ever has.
The latter was like the proverbial laser: amazingly accurate, excessively expensive, and prone to inconvenient and inexplicable failures. Two trips back to Springfield failed to make it reliable enough for carry, so I let it become someone else's problem. I occasionally regret not having it around as a range toy to make myself look more competent than I actually am.
