With a huge bias for what I really like 
1. Glock 17
2. Glock 19
3. Glock 26
4. SIG 226
5. Beretta 92FS
6. HK USP
7+ I don't know

Ya caught that, huh? I don't care much for 9mm. I put the Ruger on there for fun because when it comes to that caliber, anything more is overpriced; anything less is worthless.
i dont know about 10 but sig 226 is number 1
isn't there a hk mp5 that has no stock if it would be considered a pistol that might be number 1 even though ive never shot a mp5 i hear they are amazing

"Top 10" in what regard? Everybody's posting lists, but few are offering explanations. My Top 10 "historical" list would be different from my Top 10 "CCW pistols" list, which would be different from my Top 10 "Favorite 9mms to shoot" or "Highest CDI factor" lists.
My thoughts:
1) Walther P38. Groundbreaking design that was ahead of its time. Pioneered many of the features we take for granted on modern DA/SA autos, and directly inspired the S&W 39 and Beretta 92.
2) Beretta 92F. Replaced the iconic M1911 in US Military service, and led the law enforcement sea change from revolvers to semi-autos. Helped inspire the trend toward higher capacity semi-autos in the commercial market as well.
3) Glock 17. Brought polymer technology into the mainstream, and helped inspire the trend toward higher capacity semi-autos in the commercial market, along with the 92. Set the bar for simplicity, reliability/durability and ease of maintenance in a duty or carry pistol.
4) Browning High Power. A classic. Combined excellent ergonomics with a high magazine capacity (for its day) and good looks.
5) CZ-75. Combined ergonomics, accuracy, reliability/durability, capacity and looks. Has spawned countless variations and clones. Not bad for a commie design, eh?
6) Glock 26. Took everything good about the Glock 17 and crams it into as small a package as possible. One of the first pistols to be designed with the then-required 10rd capacity limit in mind (read, size/capacity efficiency), and with an eye toward exploiting the wave of concealed carry laws that have passed around the country in the last decade.
7) Kahr PM9. About as small and light as you can go in a 9mm and still be reliable, available and somewhat affordable. Rohrbaugh R9 need not apply.
8) S&W 5906. Along with the Beretta 92 and Glock 17, it helped usher in the "wondernine" trend in the late 1980s, and it defined S&W pistol design for more than a decade.
9) S&W M&P9. Pointing the way to the future. Arguably the best of the post-Glock polymer service pistols.
10) H&K SP89. Utterly pointless and WAY overpriced, but you know you want one. Come on.

I'm just being a sarcastic a-hole. Seriously though,
