If you liked the feel of the Beretta... Then look into the Sig 226 or 229... the first is full size like the Beretta, the second is a little smaller. They also offer the 226 in the mk25 version, which has some improvements over the original for hard use in very harsh environments like salt water. Probably not needed unless you just want it. The 229 has a similar offshoot in the M11A1. I much prefer the decocker of the Sig to Beretta. Sig also just released the 227 which is chambered in 45.

There is also the CZ75 and its varients. The P06 is designed for police use. A bit smaller than the 75 and lighter. They offer a 45 version if you really want it. Its a bit larger to fit the larger round. They make decock models for duty use if cocked and locked is not what you want.

Both the Sig and CZ have similar profiles to the Beretta. I personally find them to be my 2 favorite pistols to shoot. (The 226 and the 75) Absolute pleasures in 9mm. The 75 fits like a glove and the Sig is close behind.
