Glock 23's are what I am issued now working for a City. While working for the local County department it was 9mm Beretta. Glocks are known for their ability to sustain wear and tear. There are only 35 parts on the glock 23 which is less than half the number of parts found in competing designs. It is a very easy unit to maintain.
There is no manually-operated thumb safety or de-cocking lever. It has a "Safe Action" trigger system. Basically it has an outer trigger and then a seperate inner trigger. The inner trigger must be squeezed to allow for firing which in itself is the safety mechanism and makes accidental triggering from holsters impossible. Ease of use and reliability I must say I prefer the glock over the Beretta.

US protection rigidity wide-spread difficulty sidearm is the Beretta 92FS which has been given the protection rigidity inventory designation M-9 some US protection rigidity gadgets use different handguns. for instance the SEALs all use the Sig P226 as their wide-spread sidearm. some certain subsections of the SEALs, Marine rigidity Recon, D-boys and some others use a customized 1911 rather as their 'wide-spread difficulty' and evidently there are some challenge certain guns like 2 diverse supressed 45s from H&ok, the Mk 23 monstrosity and the a lot extra extremely sized HK45
