the berreta's are a very good gun,,easy to clean,,reliable and they dont kick much,,shot the 9mm and the 40cal version,,i like the 40cal my self<~~cost about the same,,,,9mm is not that cheap!!,,hehe,<~~unless you buy bulk junkie rounds which i would not recomend firing out of a nice gun:)
sigs are a good gun,,so are glocks<~~even know i hate how they feal in your hand,,lol,,feals like a plastic toy,,lol,,i like my pistols a little heavy anyways,,more accurate,,i own alot of auto hand guns,,black powder,,rifles and so fourth,im sure you would be quite happy with a 40cal berreta,,and dont worry about bullet prices,,357 is not much diffrent from the prices of a40cal or 9mm,,heck i spent 20 bucks on a box of 9mm hollow points,,and spent only 16bucks for a box of 30-40 krieg rounds,,lol,,once you get over anything bigger than a 22 your going to be paying for rounds,,lol,,even 223 rounds are getting quite spendy,,even in the cheap bulk rounds<~~like i said before,,i would not recomend them for automatic,,you will run into alot of jamming problems runing cheap rounds,,,and never use solid lead bullets!!,,make sure they have atleast a copper jacket part way up the bullet,,this will add to your barrel life
