Get a DAO auto or a revolver. In a self defense situation there is no time to do anything but pull the trigger, so buy a gun with only a trigger. I prefer 9mm, but I'm sure that will open a huge can of worms.
Taurus makes a very good revolver, I think their 'Smith knockoffs are better than the originals.
Glock, HK, and Sig all make great pistols, but if the primary purpose of the gun is self defense, I would highly recommend a DAO (which all three manufacturers make).
I love 1911's but they are lousy carry guns, and the switchology can be a bitch in a stressfull situation.
