If you are talking military pistols, I would recommend a post-war 9mm P-38 (West German P-1). They can be had for just a few hundred dollars. Highly dependable. High availability of spare parts if you need them. Not so for the Steyr 1912, and I am highly suspect that the Steyr 1912 would hold up in continuous use of modern 9mm ammunition.
Eastern Bloc (Russian, Polish, Bulgarian, etc.) 9mm Makarov pistols can also be had for a lot less money than a Luger.
