My Glock. Duh!
Since someone already (quickly) beat me to the "Glock, duh" response, I had thus far refrained from posting in this thread.
But, I guess I'd say that none of my guns meet my definition of perfection. I'd probably change something about every one of them, if I could. For example:
Glock (I've owned a 22, 37, 26, and 27): Perfect in the reliability category. Magazine springs in the 37 are ridiculously heavy, and the factory sights on all models are rather cheap. Still, the Glock comes very close to my definition of perfection.
S&W M&P 15T: I love this gun. It shoots great, has a great factory trigger, has given me 100% flawless performance, and does everything I'd want a duty-based AR-15 to do for me. BUT, I hate cleaning this gun just as much as I hate cleaning EVERY AR-15. Design an easy to clean AR-15, and I might call it perfect.
M48 Mauser: Okay, this one isn't the prettiest girl at the dance, and hasn't won any benchrest competitions. But, for what it cost me to own one, and the performace I've seen from my Mauser, this gun is darn near perfect. In truth, the stock, sights, and barrel aren't the fanciest things on the market, and I could easily find an off-the-shelf gun that could out shoot my rifle. But, I got this gun for less than $100 in new condition, and it'll shoot 1-inch groups if I do my part. For a military-based rifle from the past, this is bordering on perfection.
