What is the best duty type pistol in these 3 cals?

[Big Mike]

Beretta 92
Beretta 96
Ruger P90/Sig 220

 

[MachIVshooter]

My personal favorites:

9x19: MRI Baby Eagle

.40 S&W: S&W 4006

.45 ACP: S&W 4506

I own, or have owned, at least 6 other pistols in each listed chambering and these are still my top picks.

 

[HKGuns]

9mm = HK P7

.40 S&W = Don't own, don't know or care.

.45 = HK USP .45

 

[nero45acp]

9mm=SIG P225
.40 S&W=SIG P229
.45acp=SIG P220

[armoredman]

9mm CZ75 PO1
40 SW CZ75 Compact 40
45 EAA Witness Compact

Big enough for duty size, yet small enough to conceal off duty.

If it HAS to be a DA/SA pistol? Sig 226 or CZ 75.

Otherwise give me a single-action BHP or 1911.

In 9mm I would go with a Sig P226, P228, or a Walther P99.

I've fired three different .40S&W's and didn't like any of them, so I have no idea. I guess a Sig P226 in .40S&W would be okay.

In .45ACP I would pick a Sig P220ST or P220 if weight is an issue.
