After way too much research I think that the Beretta Vertec and Kahr P40 may be the next purchases to compliment my Sig P229 (.40 and .357 Sig). They just fit the hand perfectly, ooze quality and use the same bullet (and I may try to give the Beretta to my wife if she doesn't pistolwhip me first for spending money). There's no concealed carry around here so that isn't an issue, but are these top choices for everything else?
 
Both pistol's seem to fill different niches. Both are quality pistols and I guess it would depend on what you can sell to your wife. My next purchase will be a Vertec.

I'm not a big fan of the Beretta's.

The slide (aside from the bullet) as the most inertia on the gun, and yet the front is joined by a small little bridge... So it cracks there often.

If I get a ding in my slide, maybe FtFeed,or FtFire, but if I ding the barrel, the gun can blow up in my face, with a backpressure stovetop or blowback. Beretta? Let's make sure we expose as much as the barrel as we can. How stupid. Also, I want the weight in the front to minimize muzzle flip, Beretta? Light front so it's hard to point, heavy back so it has bad balance.

Go with the Kahr.

I'm not Beretta bashing, just pointing out the design flaws. It goes bang when you pull the trigger though, so +1 at least on the most important part...

Contrary to what twoblink just said, I find the Beretta 92 series to have excellent balance, excellent pointability and NO muzzle flip at all. In addition, the open slide design is both stylish and functional.

But then again, everyone's intitled to their own opinion, whether it be from experience or just bias. This is from my own experience.
