please recommend best guns in pistol calibers of 9 mm, .40 s&w, .45 acp and since we are at it 10mm. The pistols should be simple, easy to use, accurate, and easy to maintain.
While some will take the oportunity to turn this into a popularity contest, and others will make it much more complicated than it needs to be, the answer is quite simple.please recommend best guns in pistol calibers of 9 mm, .40 s&w, .45 acp and since we are at it 10mm.

Skans IMHO, the FBI "dumbs-down" their weapon choice so that weak and inferior shooters can manage the weapon. FBI - prime example of political correctness run amuck. Thank heaven we ignorant civilians aren't regulated by FBI geniuses when it comes to our gun choices.
Who cares about 1911's, Beretta 92's, and CZ 75's? The FBI walked away from all of them.
The FBI walked away from DA/SA designs like the CZ75 and Beretta 92 because the transition from DA to SA after the first shot has proven to be far less than optimal.
The FBI walked away from SA designs like the 1911 due to training issues. Under pressure and without dedicated training, it's very easy to leave the safety on when you want it off or leave the safety off when you want it on.
If you believe that the politically motivated FBI is the final answer in firearms, I pity you.

The ones that YOU shoot the best, are reliable, you have confidence in, and can afford!
The most important thing is that you try several that you select from makes, and models you like. Don't be-fooled by price either. Mane top of the line, high end guns aren't anything significantly better than less costly name brand guns.
FBI does not use .40 s&w? what does FBI uses then?
Gun blogs debate this issue ad infinitum. Huge arguments ensue regarding Glock, Sig, HK, S&W, and any number of other brands. The one thing I can tell you absolutely for sure is that there is no answer that people will agree on. Law enforcement officers, military, and various "gun experts" will have different opinions.please recommend best guns in pistol calibers of 9 mm, .40 s&w, .45 acp and since we are at it 10mm.

A search of this forum, or a google search of the internet will provide much information.I am reading that glocks in .40 s&w do not have sufficient chamber support - really don't know exactly what that means. can someone explain please.
