I'm looking for a semi-auto for HD and target shooting and the two I am looking into are the S&W M&P9 and the Ruger P944. The things I like about the Ruger is that it has a metal frame and it has a hammer and external safeties. The thing I like about the M&P is that it's slide and barrel are through harden which would seem that it is stronger then the P944. Is the P944 as durable and dependable as the M&P or should I spend the extra money and get the Smith?
