This Italian-made 9mm is my favorite semi-auto for range work. It has fantastic ergonomics, especially with the Luger-style grip angle. The SAO trigger is fully adjustable and I've gotten mine to be just right - super crisp, very little takeup, and no overtravel. The awesome trigger, superb ergonomics and match grade barrel all add up to an exceptionally accurate package. Thanks to the weight and grip angle, recoil is light and the gun stays on target without any effort.
They don't pop up for sale often on the used market, but they are available immediately from Pardini USA starting at $2.3k or so. It's one of the only semi-autos that I feel is worth that price for its shootability and not collectibility.
