    Sig 226 is not bad, but if you want "the best" production 9mm its the Sig p210.

    Not a gun you're going to want to carry (unless you are fantastically wealthy), but this *IS* the gun you want to shoot at the range.

    Single action - single stack mag only.

    Best trigger you'll ever feel in an out-of-the-box production centerfire auto.

    Slide and frame each milled from a solid block of steel.

    Working the action feels like wet ice on wet ice.

    Every gun's accuracy guaranteed to 2" at 50 yds or it doesn't leave the factory.

    If you don't have $3000 to drop on a SIG-p210, and you have to settle for a lesser gun, like the 226, Beretta 92, or CZ-75, I'll give you my experience from having shot each extensively.

    All are good. All are highly reliable. I'd trust my life to any as a "service" gun. This really comes down to personal preference.

    My favorite of that lot is the CZ-75, and again its personal preference. Next favorite is the Sig. I don't much care for the Beretta, given the choice.

    In my experience the CZ is as reliable as the others (put collectively at least 1000+ rounds through these 3, literally never had a malfunction with any of them). The CZ is at least as accurate as the other two (if not more so) and the only one of the three that can go "cocked and locked" (if you like that sort of thing).

    In my experience, the CZ trigger is better single or double action than any Beretta I've tried (and I've tried several of each). IMO, the CZ's double action is better than the SIG's (although the SIG's is still pretty good, and this, again, is subjective). Single action triggers on the CZs can be variable, depends on the gun, but a good one can be pretty good.

    The CZ, also, is known for having a particularly ergonomic grip (one that has been widely copied, in fact). The Beretta, on the other hand, has a notoriously "fat" baseball bat-like grip, that a lot of people don't like, particularly those with small hands. (I can deal with it, but I certainly don't "love" it).
