I just rented, and fired 100 rounds thru the very gun you describe, today!
I found it to be very fun, controllable and straight-shooting...once I got used to the sights, at 20 feet.
No malfunctions or misfires at all.
Before you commit to 9mm, at least take a look at the .357SIG page, as more and more LEO agencies are adopting this cartridge.
SIG P239 .357SIG is next on my list of acquisition, as I want a barn-burner!!!
