thanks gang, I guess my limited selection is due to the shops and what they have available. It has been crazy since november. I ll have to see if any friends have the G19, and give it a try. I wanted to get a large capacity smaller round handgun, and those were the options I had at top of the spending limit (is it me or has the prices gone through the roof?). If there are other recommendations of manufactures, I am open to suggestions. (one thing, the state of maryland has a spent casing rule, and I get repeatedly from the shops that this has inhibited many manufactures from selling here, or that gun is not avialable, etc.)
I need some help. I am trying to decide on which handgun to buy. The caliber is 9mm, and it’s down to, I guess, 3 weapons. The s&w mp9, the sig p250 and the ruger sr9. Family members carry the glock 26 at work, so I have had a lot of opportunity to shoot it, and I didn’t enjoyed it, so I knocked off the glocks (sorry to the glock fans). Also I was adamantly told that the s&w automatics were really really bad (trigger pull, jamming etc..) now I am just wondering around in a quagmire of indecision going from shop to shop.
One more thing, this will be the home defense handgun for the wife (little, 5"2") as well as an occasional carry weapon for me. thanks for looking.

Gotta throw my vote out for that one as well. I carry the XD sub in a .40 I also have to say that I would never recommend a 9mm for anything but plinking.
There was a LEO where I live (Bozeman, Montana) that had to use deadly force on a DUI he pulled over. When the driver stopped LEO started for his driver side window and the redneck got out with a .357 revolver. The guy shot the officer in the leg. The officer returned fire. After the officer emptied his gun once and knocked the guy down, the man FIRED AGAIN from the pavement. The officer reloaded his gun and emptied again, hitting the man a total of 12 times, out of 18 shots. The police officer was using a 9mm.
Just my personal reason for not carrying a 9mm. Though if I were to, it would only be with REALLY expansive hollow points.
If you're dead set on 9mm and not shopping on-line I would definitely get the Sig. Probably the only one of the 3 you have as options I'd trust with my life.
