I own a Beretta 92FS and have been very please with it, although I have only put about 300 rounds through it. Still, it seems very reliable and the ergonomics are great. It fits my hand almost perfectly and I really like the slide mounted decocker/safety. Its also easy to maintain, which is a plus.

You did not say why you wanted to get a gun. Is it for self-defense, or for target shooting?

If it is self-defense then I would definitely go with the Beretta. I believe the BHP is SA (correct me on this if I am wrong), while the Beretta is SA/DA. Its just personal taste, but I feel more comfortable having a DA gun for SD. That way I can leave it decocked but know that it is still ready to go.
