Just a word about going to a Beretta PX4. Nothing wrong mind you, but the PX4 is polymer. The Sig was most likely an alloy frame and stainless steel slide. The 40 round is very manageable in the SIG due to the weight. So going to a lighter pistol will increase felt recoil. Just food for thought. And I personally like the 40 better than a 9mm in the 3 pistols I have chambered for it,P226, P229, Beretta 90-TWO. Large pistols, easy to shoot with the 40. But YMMV. Good luck.
