Ruger, Glock. Beretta, S&W and Sig all make good pistols in 9mm that are reliable, accurate and easy to operate with simple manual of arms. Once again stay away from the 1911 pistols until you get more experienced.

I forgot about Ruger.....I had an ex-girlfriend who purchased an SR9C and was totally happy about it. As was I. Good gun.
Made in America, too.

For what it is worth my duty piece is Glock 19 and I carry a Glock 26 as my off-duty piece. I also carry a S&W Model 49 Bodyguard revolver as my backup, but I understand you don't want a revolver.
When our department switched to Glock (G21 & G19) the transition was very easy. I'm a firearm instructor with my agency. Many cops are not gun people and the Glock was a simple system to teach. Many of them saw their qualification scores improve as well with the GLock pistol. We haven't had any accidental discharges.

I've really been thinking about trading my XDM compact for a Glock 19

I like it. It isn't the end all and be all of handguns, but it's reliable, pretty snag free, simple to operate and maintain and accurate. No the trigger isn't ideal and it doesn't have Olympic quality accuracy, but it's more than enough for what it's designed to be. It's a good design and meets my needs. I'm thinking about getting a Gen 4, but I am also content with my Gen 3 models and with the gun buying frenzy going on I'm thinking I'll just stay with what I've got.
Anyway I know there are many good designs out there and some of the newer ones are better in some aspects. But I'm familiar with the Glock. I shoot it well and I trust it. So I'll stick with it. Same reason why you still can find the ocassional grey-haired old cop still carrying a S&W Model 10 revolver. Because he knows it can shoot it and trusts it.

The only real think I like about the Gen 4 Glocks is the enlarged mag release button. I like it over the previous models.

1morey, just to clarify do you want an automatic or a revolver? You comment about not wanting anything above a .357 made me wonder. If you are looking for a revolver, how about a Ruger SP101.
