Xtreme,
If you like the Beretta 92FS, then you ought to look at the Taurus 92FS it is a licensed copy (exact copy) of the Beretta and it costs about $200 less.

See what Wikipedia says http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurus_92

If you like the longer barrel and 9mm that's you best choice and at around $400 it is hard to beat. The Beretta's go for around $600. I had one and it worked flawlessly.

The only downside with the Beretta design is that getting to the firing pin for cleaning is a bit complicated. I bought an AGI video that showed me everything I needed to completely disassemble it and re-assemble it.

The upside is that unless you shoot a lot you won't have to do that but once every couple of years.
