a new Handgun to Buy.

Hey Dude; Think I would have to go with my
personal favorite, the Sig-Sauer P226 . All the choice's that are mentioned
are excellent weapons; and don't forget
the Browning Hi-Power!!!
It's been
around a long time; and the newer edition
Mark III's are excellent sidearms in their
own right.
Let us know what you decide on?
Best Wishes,

I have a stainless Beretta, a Sig 229, and a P99 in 9mm. Of the guns you mention, all are high quality guns. All have similar capacity (15 rounds of 9mm in the Beretta and Sig, 16 rounds in the Walther). All are reliable, and finally, all are in the same price range.
The differences are that the Beretta has a safety/decocker and an exposed hammer. The Sig does not have the safety, and the Walther has neither the safety nor the exposed hammer.
The biggest difference, in my opinion, is that the Walther is really a mid-sized gun (similar size to a G19), while the other two are full sized (similar size to a G17). If you're planning on carrying, I'd go with the Walther.

Having experience with all three, I'd do the P99. Ligter and more compact, the downside is that standard cap. mags are the least available for it vs. the other two. IMO, that is more than made up for by its shootability though.
Without a doubt, GET THE WALTHER P99!

Dude,
All the autoloaders mentioned in your question are excellent. My personal choice is the Sig P-226, however, I would suggest you opt for the pistol with which you feel most comfortable (ergonomics, hand-fit, pointing, manual-of-arms, sight picture, etc.). That will surely be the best choice for you -- which is what really counts.

If you have to stick with those 3, I'd go with the Sig 226. Reliable, accurate, great service policy.
If it makes a difference, you also have to let your conscience be your guide. Walther and S&W are partners in production and marketing. Every dollar for Walther is shared with S&W.

I have shot both the model 92F Berreta and a Sig 226 in K Kote. I prefer the sig 226 anyday to the Berreta. I find the 226 to be more accurate and comfortable to shoot. The sig has always shot any reload that I tried in it. Either gun will a fine job but the sig is my favorite........Good luck

In my experience, I'd definately take the SIG. 15+ round mags are still available, though not cheap.

Before you go off half-cocked look at the new FN in 40. This looks like a great choice!

Hey don't forget to take a look at the Beretta Cougar 8000 in 9mm. The Cougars are worth while and also they are coming out with the 9000 series which is their entrance into the world of polymers.
