"Better" is a relative term. It's all in what your exact application for it is. The Kimber is more easily concealable than the other two (except for the Glock 26), and uses a striker fired action similar to the Glock. However, if you have particularly large hands, the Kimber may be less-than-ideal vs. a mid or full sized Glock or the Beretta. My main concern with the Kimber and Glock, particularly for concealed carry, is the lack of safety features, with the trigger lock being the only safety feature. Which is why I personally prefer the Springfield XD series. The Beretta.. depends on what model you get. If you get the actual M9, you get fixed sights (same as with the Kimber or Glock). If you want adjustable sights, they're available with other variants of the Beretta 92. On the downside concerning the Beretta, the safety is a bit awkward, and the hammer drop/block feature doesn't allow you to carry it "cocked and locked", the way you could with the earlier models of the Beretta 92, which had the frame mounted safety (this feature is still found on the Taurus PT92 and PT99 models, which are manufactured under licence from Beretta).

Ultimately, what it comes to is that the best one is what's best for you. Read some reviews, rent some at a range which does handgun rentals, and make your decision based on that. Be wary of gun shops and what they recommend - they'll often try to push you towards what they're a sponsored dealer of.

Either the Beretta M9 or the Desert Eagle. Most likely the M9. It depends on what you mean. If you mean America's military, the primary handgun is the Beretta M9, but if you mean in general, the Glock is the most common. About 65% of police departments in the U.S. use Glock, and probably about that same amount in competitive practical shooting.
