I wear a different pair of glasses; I see comparing two different handguns whose only common connection is that they are both "hi-cap" 9mm semi-auto pistols.

That said, they are both excellent pistols; the Browning's profile is smaller (by a bit) and makes for better concealability; neither fall under the heading of "compact" however. I have a nice Bianchi pancake style holster that holds my Beretta very close to the body; and have numerous holsters my BHP fits. (it will fit a lot of my 1911 holsters)

I give my vote to the BHP; I have one in .40 S&W and two Inglis P35s (WWII) that I am building; matching slides and frames from E-Gun Parts two years ago.

There isn't anything wrong with the Beretta or the High Power (SA/DA vs. SA) - with a heavy (147 grain) hollowpoint both guns are potent defenders; I just like the Browning better...
