Both are fine handguns. If you can, shoot them (borrow just about any model 9mm of each). Pick whichever feels the best for you. I know experienced shooters who would pick a Glock, and I know experienced shooters who would pick a Beretta.

If you are sold on the 9mm, have a look at the Springfield XD9. I have a friend who shoots a lot with me and he likes my XD9 better than his Glock. His son just bought an XD9. I’m very impressed with mine after about 1200 rounds through it.
