Varies from person to person.
Some like Glocks, some like Sig's, other's like M&P's. All are good guns.
I personally still prefer the Browning Hi-Power over all of them though. Try a few out and see what feels best for you.

I have a Gen 4 Glock 34 in the classified section for sale.
The Glock 34 fills two very specific roles, competitive shooting and tactical shooting. Check out this review of a Gen 3:

+1 on the Hi Power and CZ 75. My next runner-up would be the SIG P226/228. Lou at Shooters' Discount has had some good LE-surplus lately.

Ruger P95 Best 9mm for the Value. One can be had for around 300.00. Over a 1000 rnds through mine and not one problem. IMHO.
The G34 is a very fine handgun. Probably of limited use if you'll ever be carrying it, but a very fine handgun indeed.

Gotta give the P-series a nod, they're built like friggin' tanks and they're not too expensive to boot.

Based on absolutely nothing other then the fact that you want a 9mm, get a Glock 17 or 19
My personal choices would be either a Glock 19 or a Beretta 92FS/A1.

I wouldn't ask any recommendations at this point.
Go to a good gun shop (check the industry partners) and at least hold a dozen or so different pistols. You may not be able to choose a winner, but at least you'll know some that feel "right" and some that don't fit your hand at all. Make a list. Go to a range with rentals and shoot the ones that you liked. By then, you'll be down to 2-4 favorites.
Then you can break the deadlock by asking for opinions. Otherwise, you're going to get recommendations for about 25-30 different guns. Having been where you are, I can say that it's not terribly useful and can be very confusing.

Im a little biased. The P series are good guns. I got a ruger p89. Built like a tank. I've got well over 3,000 rounds thru it and I love it.
