which 9mm would you prefer

[au_some]

These are the three models I am looking at and would like to know what you all would prefer for yourself

I hate the open top slide on the Beretta and Taurus, The one I had  Seemed to aim the cases at your head, real PITA.
I have heard that some people who have had them detest the Ruger trigger, measured some of the recalled ones at over 10 pounds. Pincus and MB claim to love them.
Personally I would not take any of those 3, If I wanted a 9mm I would go with a Glock.
If money were not an issue  I would go with a Browning High Power.

Hello au some, and welcome to DRTV. If those are the only three your looking at, barring price, and size, take the M9. It is used by our military and others around the world. Very reliable, durable, and proven. However, there are others that get to the top 10 very quickly.

Just food for thought. The M9 is number 4 on this list.

Others will have .02 cents and thoughts, the XD, M+P, CZ, FN9 (which I own and really like), Glock etc,...

Is it for daily carry, target, competition, home defense? All these can be a determining factor as well.

Thanks again for posting. Glad your here.

Of those three I'd take the Beretta, its easy to find accessories for it and its one of the most reliable weapons I've ever seen. The only problem I have is you can't replace the sights unless you take it to a smith for some slide work and that gets expensive, thus I didn't buy it because I want night sites. Other than that its a fine 9mm.

To be honest, my personal preference is a Glock but of those three Beretta no question. The SR9 is still unproven and I haven't heard many good things in reference to Taurus outside of their revolvers.

And before I forget welcome to the forum!

Maybe the newer ones are better.

I voted for the SR9 out of your choices. But I would favor the M&P9 a lot more. Or maybe the Glock G4 when it comes out next year. and the CZ's are really nice for the price.  I didn't like all the sharp edges on the SR9 when I handle it. You can tear you hands to pieces working the slide. But the grip is a lot nicer than the Beretta (it's way to fat), and I wouldn't touch a Taurus seen way to many problems with them. I might conceder them for a plinking gun but not something I have to trust my life to!

I have the Taurus 92, which is the fixed site version of the 99. It's a rock. I got it because I prefer the decocker on the frame instead of the slide.

well to let yall in on what i want it for I do recreational gold prospecting in some remote parts and this past summer a couple of friends had a run in with a a couple of bears and a mountain lion near my claim. I am looking for a side arm to be able to carry and  switch mags easily  , as long as they let us be I will do the same but as we all know the nature of the beast  he makes his own calls and i want to be prepared to answer that call  just in case since I usually have my family with me
