Of course, you pick 3 of my favorite guns to choose between. Are you talking about a full size pistol, a mid size pistol, or a compact carry model?
If you're talking Full size:
1911's - All standard Springfields are good. can't go wrong with a 1911A1.
Sig - again, very good guns. I do still prefer 1911's and USP's over sigs, though.
USP - If you're going full size 45acp USP, spend the extra $300 and get the Tactical(USP Full size here is $700, Tactical is $982). It's a little bit heftier, but the accuracy increase is quite nice, and I do like having the full 5" of barrel length, rather than just 4.4" as well as the Adjustable sights.
Mid-Size:
Here my vote has to go to a Commander Length 1911. It's tried and tested and works quite well.
Compact Carry:
The Springfield Ultra Compact and Micro Compact are nice, but even though I'm a 1911 fan, they're just too small for my hands.
I also prefer carry pistols to be double action on the first pull of the trigger, so I'd suggest the USP Compact for a carry gun.
As has been mentioned here, Glock has a nice selection of guns, even though I personally don't like them that well. (Pretty much just prejudice though, I've just been using 1911's too long not to have a physical safety that I can activate)
