Stock TM P226's are excellent. Reliable, accurate, great on gas. Simple internals means it wont break and isn't hard to figure out how to make it shoot. 9mm double stack-ish sized mag means lots more gas than a 1911 (great, if you're not a fair-weather airsofter). TM adjustable hop up is similar to the VSR hop up... or so I understand... either way, its a great design - very accurate and consistent. Turns out it shares a bunch of common upgrade parts with 1911/Hi-Capa's, too - great for fixing stuff or upgrading when it comes to that, but TBH it runs great stock, too.

I can't recommend a M9. Then again, I had a KJW, so perhaps the TM is of better quality? IDK, the design isn't THAT great, IMO. And I just plain don't like the uber-wide grip panels.
