I used to own a Beretta 92F...heres my reasons to never own another:
First, its big and chunky overall for a 9mm pistol. Bigger than it has to be. The grip is huge, too. Put a 92 Beretta in your hand, then try a Hi-Power or CZ-75...see/feel the difference? Not so chunky, eh?
Second, the safety is waaay up there on the slide, not down on the frame, where it is easy to reach. Also, the trigger pull is loooong.
I got rid of my Beretta and traded for a Belgian Hi-Power and would NEVER trade back. The Hi-Power has a better trigger, is more accurate, just as reliable and is slimmer and easier to conceal/carry. It also has a steel frame and I don't know of a case where the slide blew off and hurt anyone as the isolated cases with the Beretta. The Israleis used HPs for their sidearms for years and ran the very hot 9mm IMI made Uzi rounds through the things and I have not heard of any of them giving out. The British and Canadians in Iraq right now are carrying Hi-Powers and from what I have read, they're pretty pleased with the pistols. The Canadians have carried the HP since WWII! More countries around the world have used the Hi-Power as a military/police sidearm than the Beretta 92...check it out.
The Hi-Power is not cheap, so it might be out of your price range. It can also be had in 40 caliber as well.
Sorry, but I think there are MUCH better choices than the 92 Berettas. I also own a 40 caliber XD (love it) and yes, if I had to choose a 9mm under 400 bucks, I'd go with an XD-9 or CZ-75 LONG before I bought a Beretta 92.
