The Glock 26 is a fine 9mm, you can't go wrong with it. The SR9C is also a fine compact and would make a great CCW. I've owned a Glock 26 and 27, liked em both, but a bit thick in my opinion to conceal carry, the Ruger seems to be thinner. Both are relatively light weight.
Noob here. Ready to take the leap. Choices: SR9c, Bersa Thunder 9 Pro, Taurus PT911

Of the 3 you list - I guess I'd go with the Ruger.
Honestly, I've never been a big fan of any of the three you list.
These are the 3 polymer handguns that dominate the market - and they dominate the market for a good reason.
Glock
S&W M&P
Springfield XD

If you get the Bersa UC9mm you will NOT regret it and will probably buy a second one.
I don't have any experience with the others to compare, but I don't think you can go wrong with the Bersa.

Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions. I purchased a new SR9c. Black on black. Pictures coming soon. Haven't fired it yet either. I will post pics in a new post when I have them.
It is definitely a good gun to have if you ever run into Manbearpig.
Boy I agree with that 100% - which leads me to a conclusion 180 degrees from this gentleman with the opposite opinion - buy ANYTHING but a Glock. Or get one and then trade it off later when you learn that it has horrible ergos, is cheaply made, and is a very poor value - at least the 2nd course of action keeps your life more interesting as you go along and gives you something to upgrade to! If you could up the budget a bit, I'd look at a CZ 75 compact PCR, Beretta PX4 compact, or S&W MP compact.
But I like your choices on more of a budget - I'd go with #2 or #3.
#3 is best for comfort and enjoyability in shooting, and aesthetics & pride of ownership as well. However, you'd have to ask yourself (a) is it gonna be too heavy to carry comfortably - maybe maybe not; depends on your personal feel, and (b) are you gonna train to disengage that manual 2nd nature when the moment of truth arrives? Wait a sec, if you can afford a Taurus 1911, then you can afford a CZ PCR, so I'd seriously consider expanding your short list and doing more research into some awfully good contenders. But granted, the 1911 will last several lifetimes and be a joy to own. I think everyone oughtta have at least one 1911.
With the Bersa, you do get a lot more gun than you pay for - nice pistols. I found mine to be accurate & feature filled. Only knock for me is that the grip was too large for my hands.
You'd probably be satisfied with the Ruger however, too.
Oops, nevermind.
No doubt that ManBearPig needs to be stopped. I believe that when hunting ManBearPig, Al Gore has been seen using a shotgun, however. I'm SUPER CEREAL!Similar threads
