    Default Suggest which double-stack 9mm I should get

    All my handguns are either wheelguns or single stack full size autos. I am seriously considering getting a double stack 9mm for those times when I want more options.

    I open carry normally. My primary concerns are reliability and durability. The gun HAS to work as it should, and I don't want to have to worry about replacing small parts everytime I turn around. Of the following choices, I'd like to get some advice. These are the only pistols I'm considering:

    1) Beretta 92FS Italy made.
    2) Beretta 92G compact Wilson Combat model
    3) SIG sauer P229 Elite (either Scorpion or standard nitron)
    4) CZ-75b

    This new purchase will be a NIB model.
    I like all steel guns, so the CZ-75 draws my interest. I also like condition one carry. However, I don't want to have to keep worrying about broken slide stops.

    Recent rumors suggest that the new SIG sauer pistols are not like they used to be. I've read reviews of new pistols with FTF, broken take down levers, etc. Are these just rumors? As far as I know, the USSS still issues SIG, so they can't be that bad?

    The Beretta 92 seems to be the most reliable of the bunch here. However, there's that locking block that can crack, which will lock up the gun.

    I'm leaning toward the SIG P229 elite, but can still be persuaded on the other 3. Any thoughts from those who have experience with these guns would help a lot.

    Thanks.

    I would chose the Browning High Power as I like the single action pistols. Out the group that you are considering I would go with the SiG P229

    I love my 2 Sigs. Mine are less than 5 yrs old. Never a FTF unless it was an out of spec hand load.
    Full size Berretta? Way too big for my hands. Nice guns though.
    CZ, not my cup of tea. Rather large grip for me also.

    Me? Sig 229 everyday all day!
