If it was my money, I would buy a glock 17, and if I was looking for a second 9mm it would be a sig sauer P226. Then you have one polymer striker fired gun, and one full metal hammer fired one. Both are dead reliable and bulletproof, with a healthy aftermarket, holsters and. parts that are easy to find and magazines that are affordable.
