Ruger SR9, Springfield XD 9 tactical, or Glock19

I can decide which of these semi autos to buy. They each have 30+ round aftertmarket mags available and are supposed to be very reliable. Any of you guys have suggestions? Pros & Cons? Which one to buy??

They are all good some more proven than others. I'd give the Ruger a try if you like Rugers. People either do or don't it seems. Good ergonomics, adjustable rear sight among other refinements form the P series.

Iam in love with the springfield XD line personally, I think it feels alot beter that the glock, I have owned a glock 22 and 23 and would give them up in a second for my XD 40.

I'd go with the Ruger over the other two due to the profile resembling my beloved Steyr M series and the fact that it has a manual safety.

All three have metal-to-metal slide/rail contact as far as I know, which not all polymer pistols have. That plus the manual safety are what make or break polymer framed pistols for me.

If I didn't care about the manual sfaety or barrel axis as much, I'd go with the XD due to it being proven and standard but superior in my opinion to the Glock.

This is one of those choices where you have to go hold them and see which one you like best. All three are good. The Ruger has a magazine safety (which is very easy to disconnect if you don't want it), which may or may not be important to you.

They're all good, but Glock will be easier to find accessories, parts, etc.
