I have over 20 different handguns. Here are my favorites and why they are the favorites.

Favorite over all: Beretta 92 FS. I can drive a tack with it. The indoor range I belong to has a 5 yard to 25 yard distance for placing the target. At 25 I cab place an entire mag in the 9 and 10 ring.
Second best is my M&P 2.0 .40, which has less than 1500 rounds thru it.

Best concealable hi cap pistol: Springfield Hellcat. Never had an issue with it and with over 9k rounds thru it have only had 5 fail to fire issues and it was ammo related. Great point and shoot at 7-10 yards.
This is followed by my Shield plus. While. Little larger it performs similar to the Hellcat and not one issue t to firerounds in the 5500 rounds thru it.

Best Pocket pistol: Glock 42. I have ten round mags and it is always reliable. It is good out to 10 yards max, but it has never had a failure. 4750 rounds thru it.

Best full size revolver is a Taurus model 65 made in 1985 in Brazil. Over 10k rounds thru it and can drive a tack!

Best compact revolver: S&W 442. Great point and shoot belly gun.
