Colt 1911 Mark IV
Springfield 1911
Sig P220
XD-9
XD-45 4" service model
XD-45 5" tactical model
Glock 17
H&K 9mm USP
S&W 357 Revolver

Of the group I really liked XD-45 service model for it's accuracy, size, capacity and ergonomics, this will probably be the gun I pull trigger on (no pun intended). My boss' Colt 1911 MK IV was the smoothest .45, but I'm not a fan of the 7 round magazine capacity and size.
All of the guns you listed are capable of 1-2.5" groups at 25 yards. If you shoot one more accurately than the other, it's because you find it easier to hold/sqeeze the trigger on/sights more to your liking/whatever. That is the gun you should go with as your body and mind clearly seem to prefer it.

Just my .02, but buy what YOU shoot best, not what others say is best/looks coolest on COD4, etc.
