The only ones I can still find new are more than I can get a PX4 for. That said they were a great choice when they still imported them.

Hi-Point
I know, low hanging fruit.
Yep, I bought one brand new about 8 years ago when Stoegar was making them not Beretta, and I paid $400 pre tax. Based on the fit and finish, the accuracy, and hiccup free operation, I happily would've paid $600 for it. I got out of the 40 S&W cartridge though, and sold it to my dad though several years ago. None the less, they were quality guns and a great design.The only ones I can still find new are more than I can get a PX4 for. That said they were a great choice when they still imported them.
Ill go slightly old school and say the entire line up of Ruger P90 series.
They were rock solid and cheap, but rarely ever mentioned then or now.
You hear them mentioned as beater guns, or maybe truck guns, but you almost never find an owner of one with a complaint about them.
That EDC you've used for years that's going to be tossed aside for that floozy that caught your eye at your local LGS
Maybe under rated is the wrong word; maybe under-appreciated is what I have in mind for the HK P7 - VERY accurate, simple, completely ambidextrous, and will work even without an extractor

It'll come back to me at some point I suspect.
It’s a robust design and shoots as accurately as any tilting barrel design I’ve shot.I shied away from the rotating barrel. Never did get one.
Just handled a Star yesteday at by guns smiths..Here is my Star Super B. It is well made, accurate, and reliable. Mine had barely been shot and was something absurd like $250 OTD. My FIL bought himself one a few days after shooting mine. His was slightly cheaper and appeared to have been unissued. Neither one has ever malfunctioned, as far as I can recall.
Here is my FEG Hi-Power "clone". I bought it at a gun show for $200 in 1988 or so. The only time it ever malfunctioned was with a $5.00 box of Chinese 9mm ammo. I also have their PP clone in 32acp and their PPK in 380acp.

That original LCP trigger was awful... I bought the LCP II and it is night and day!Ya, and the trigger on the original Ruger LCP did cause me problems, If I want to pull straight back with my trigger finger there is only so much distance my finger can traverse and with the LCP I had to curl my finger to get the trigger alll the way back to where it would break.
I don't have that problem with the Rohrbaugh R9 or the Remington RM380.
1) MAB PA15-Built like a proverbial tank this all steel (I think even the magazine follower and baseplate were made out of steel), 15 round, semi-auto pistol with it's rotating barrel locking system was one of the most sweet shooting 9mm.s I ever shot. It was also overlooked and underrated by many shooters looking for a high capacity 9mm.
And large frame DA and SA boomers to boot .Lots of Rugers can be called underrated. One company can get you 1911s, pocket guns, and mid size carries. You can even get your ugly guns with the Ruger American series.
