Reading an article about the XM9 Pistol Trials, the S&W 459 seemed to beat the shit out of all the expensive FN, HK, and Colt pistols. Pretty good pistol, but it probably would not have been great as the M9; trigger's too heavy and the sights they would have been using are too delicate, which I reckon is a big part of why it came second in the post-trial evaluations
