Decide what you want and what it's for.
You need to decide what features you want, what features you won't have because you dislike them, and decide what this pistol is going to be for.
Ambi or single side safety? I prefer single.
GI or Beavertail Grip safety? I prefer BT with a Cdr. hammer.
Beveled mag well? Yup, I'd go for that.
Stippled or checkered frame? I prefer that to a smooth frame.
Arched or flat MSH? I like 'em flat.
Sights? I like a plain black rear with a highly visible front.
Blued or stainless? Again, I have a preferrence.
My best advice would be to make a list of desired features, a list of things you want to avoid, and find a manufacturer that supplies something very close.
