Imo- every collection needs a 75b and a Hi-Power.

I voted 75b only because BHP was not a choice.
IMHO the 92 is too big and bloated for a 9mm.
If you want to carry "cocked and locked" you won't do better than a Hi Power. If you get an SFS equipped HP you can carry hammer down while cocked and locked.

Both the Beretta and the CZ are outstanding. I'm partial to the Beretta 92 myself (have 2 now), but a CZ is on my short list. I love the metal frame guns and these are my 2 favorites.
Of the three I would not get the Taurus. Not that it's bad but it's just a Beretta knock off, pony up the extra $ and get the real thing. It's worth it.

I've owned a Beretta and a Taurus 92 style guns. while they are accurate and reliable the grip is just too damn big and the DA trigger reach is too far.
they are both gone now and the only DA/SA "wonder 9" I own is a CZ85 Combat. it fits like a glove and is one of the most accurate guns I own.

I voted for the Ruger P95. Oh, I'm at the wrong site.
For those dismissing the Taurus as merely a knockoff, remember that Taurus builds that gun in a factory set up by Beretta themselves to build them for the Brazilian military. In effect, it is closer to a license built version of the original 92 (although no fees are paid, as the patents have long expired). As a matter of fact, the reason Taurus has the safety mounted on the frame, where at least one person (ahem) prefers it, is because that is where Beretta had it when Brazil adopted the 92. Possibly as a result of these origins, the PT-92/99 seems to figure much less often in the Taurus horror stories that populate the internet. Even many dedicated anti-Taurus crusaders will sometimes offer it up as the only good gun Taurus makes.
That aside, I voted for the CZ. It can be carried cocked and locked, and, while extra mass can make a gun more shootable, I prefer the size efficiency of the CZ.

My tried and true 9mm has been a Taurus 92 for three decades. It's the only 9mm I've kept. I must admit to being smitten by CZ75's of late though. And a HK P7M13.

PT92.
I have/had all three, and to sing with the choir, they are all great pistols. My anguish was when I needed to sell a pistol; I let the Beretta go because the Taurus' frame safety/decocker is similar to my other safety-equipped pistols. My pre-B CZ-75, while a classic, lacks a decocker function, so if I choose to go DA, I have to lower the hammer with my thumb--not the safest procedure.

Its pretty nice. I had night sights installed on mine.
I do wish there was some sort of aftermarket rubber grip for it, instead of just a plain hogue handall (like the kind ya put on a polymer handgun).
But, it shoots very nicely, and it looks pretty sweet with the new design, IMHO
