hard to beat MarcW's Pardini... a 1911's grip safety and frame can be undercut to the thumb safety pivot hole... my 1911 was getting close to the edge when it was built way back when... you can see the thumb wear marks on the slide...

Im a 1911 guy,
But I think a Glock has a lower axis to the bore than a 1911 |

Possibly the Steyr.

In addition to the low bore axis, the grip angle forces you to pivot your wrist downward, effectively lowering the bore axis even more in relation to your forearm. The lowered wrist is less apt to act as a pivot as the gun recoils. This enables really quick follow-up shots. The Steyr and Caracal guns are set up very similarly. |

The FNS is slightly lower than a Glock.

Czs have a low bore axis because of the slide to frame design. The slide rides internally of the frame.

green = 1911, red = Glock, blue = P7 Some center fire pistols which do have a (more or less) low bore axis: CZ 75 (highest on the list), Pardini GT9, HK P7, Glock, Steyr M, S&W M&P, Caracal, Strike One |

Possibly the Steyr. ETA: M9/M40 and variants. This, if you are looking for a centerfire semiauto then the steyr M9a1 and m40a1 series appear to have the lowest bore axis. It is similar to the arsenal strike one in that regard |

What about the Boberg Lineup? Sure they are new and expensive. They might fit the criteria.
EDIT: Late to the game, there are many good suggestions. I am just adding food for thought. Also, after looking at pictures, the firearm doensn't look any lower than an M&P. |

Notice the deep cut under the rear slide/beavertail area and the odd angle of the trigger/trigger guard. It forces your hand up really high. Not real comfy for me, but people with little hands dig it. The difference in muzzle flip is very noticeable between shooting the Steyr vs something like a Sig or even a Glock. The chunky Steyr slide probably eats up a lot of the recoil as well. |

It was fairly accurate and reliable. I didn't like how the front sight was silver and the rear sight notch wasn't very deep at all. Detail stripping was not something easily accomplished due to the complicated lower assembly. The mag release is on the frontstrap, which is convenient yet odd. It seemed to throw a lot more powder and crap on my arms while shooting than most other designs. |

Interestingly, I have big hands and the Steyr M9/M9-A1 feels really good in my hands. And, as mentioned, the muzzle flip of my M9-A1 is noticeably less than the Glock 17 that I usually carry. I'm guessing that the Caracal, given the configuration of the position of the web of the hand on the grip (high like the Steyr), would feel very much like the Steyr M9-A1. Although the triangular sights of the Steyr M9-A1 are interesting, I'm used to three dot sights so I replaced the original triangle sights with sets of Trijicon ST01 tritium (green/green) sights on my M9s...
