Best handgun out of these?

I've owned several of the Beretta "92" series, and they have been the most reliable semi-autos I've ever fired. My first one was a "92SB" that I bought in 1984, and my second one was a "92F (SBF) I bought in 1988, both at Alexander's Guns in Houston, Texas. I wrote a book that gives results of my years of comparative and comprehensive tests of many pistols, and the Berettas beat all other models in overalll scoring. S&W semi-autos have a bad reputation, so I wouldn't risk buying one now. I bought a "Model 39" in 1971, and it perfornmed well with military type ammo. My Berettas would function with anything I could put in the magazines. My brother-in-law has a pair of Glocks, a compact and a full size one. He's a deputy sheriff. I'm not impressed with his Glocks, so I wouldn't buy one. They score too low on my tests in several areas, e.g. too hard to disemble for cleaning, poor balance causing bad performance in quick draw, unsatisfactory accuracy, etc. Glock fanatics and shills may give people thumbs down for pointing out the Glock's flaws, and that's unethical. The truth hurts some people and products.
