From reading your last comments, it seems as if you shoot the USPc the best, so I would suggest going with it. Since you like the safety, it's good to know that it works similar to the 1911 you plan to get (minus the decocking feature).
 
I would choose a Glock 23 40 cal and then use the savings from buying one of the other guns to get a lone wolf 9mm drop in barrel.

Remember, with just a barrel change the Glock 40 cal guns can shoot 40 cal or 357 or 9mm (sometimes people will use 9mm mags for the 9mm conversion barrel, but my 40 cal mags hold the 9mms fine and it feeds flawlessly.)
 
Glock by far! accurate reliable, excellent pistols. If I hear another person repeat what they read on here, ("Glocks have a bad grip angle") I'm gonna puke. Sig is a overpriced pistol with many of its' parts made from stamped sheet metal.
 
Sig or USPc. I voted sig just because I like it the best for CC. I own a G19 a P239 and a HK45 and love the HKs best for the range, Glocks for open carry or home defense, and Sigs for conceal or Defenslive carry.
 
Glock 19, hands down.

I own two and would never part with them. Recently picked up an Advantage Arms .22lr conversion slide. That was one of the best gun buying decisions I ever made. I shoot hundreds and hundreds of rounds at a time now instead of a couple boxes. I'd highly recommend doing that also.
 
Unless you're really worried about price, get the Sig. Of the bunch, the Sig has the best trigger (and it can be made worlds better by Bruce Gray), it is, IMO, the most ergonomic, and I believe it to be safer than the Glock by way of a much heavier trigger pull. I don't want to get into a discussion of Glock safety-the pistol is plenty safe, and I carried one for about a year, but I personally feel safer with a Sig. Dry firing a Sig is also nicer than a Glock due to the fact that you don't have to manually reset the trigger after every pull, but that is a very miniscule aspect of the weapon as a whole.

I have shot HKs, and they're okay, but not nearly what they are cracked up to be, but again, this is my opinion, many people swear by them. I found their trigger to be long, their reset to be weird and long, and I found myself executing some unintentional double taps, although if I shot it more I believe this would not have been an issue to fix. HK customer service is supposedly a bear to deal with, and I prefer not to deal with HK on principle because of their inability or unwillingness to produce products (readily, at least) for the US civilian market (read HK 416).

I own a 229in .40, and to be honest, I have not shot a pistol that I like more, including the 1911 that I sold to buy the 229. The Sig is accurate, soft shooting, and has excellent ergos IMO. I also like that fact that my .40 Sig can be converted to shoot 9mm on the cheap (although a 9mm Sig can not be converted to shoot .40 or .357 Sig), not to mention that .22 conversion kits are readily available now.

I believe the best buy of the 3 to be the Sig, which is why I own one. The Glock works-there is no question about it, and the HK is a nice gun as well, but of the three, if you want the best gun, go with the Sig. Like I said, any will serve the purpose and get the job done, but the Sig is simply head and shoulders above the Glock, and the HK, while a good gun, is just too much in the wrong places IMO.

As some other folks said, the M&P might be the best combination of everything you are looking for, if you do not want to spend the money on a Sig. It is reliable, accurate, durable, and cheaper than the HK and Sig. Choose this if you're on a budget and can not find a used Sig.
 
Sig P229 all the way!! Why? Because I just bought one and it is my first pistol. :neener: Actually, from reviewing the specs , the Sig has better construction, I rather have my hand cannons constructed from aluminum and steel than plastic.
