Have you shot both? If not, if would probably be worthwhile to hire them to try. That's what I did, along with quite a number of other pistols, before making a decision.

The Beretta is a big pistol and requires a large-ish hand to comfortably reach the double action trigger. The size ruled it out for me. The BHP, whilst a full-size pistol with a double stack magazine, is quite compact and does suit smaller hands very well. The BHP had been my first choice and it remained my choice after shooting a variety of other pistols, both single and double action. It fits the hand very well. The only other pistol type I shot that matched it for me was the 1911.
