Gun Advice (looking to buy a pistol)

Find a gun nut buddy who has a bunch or rent some from a range/store, find what you like and buy it. The best gun to have is the one you are willing to carry and shoot.

I will point out that our military does use a factory threaded H&K Usp occasionally for some spooky operations.. the Beretta M9 is a fantastic weapon with an extremely long service life.. but it is also massive and heavy. Not something you'd want to conceal. The ineffectiveness of fmj 9mm (what the military uses) is an entirely separate argument.
