To me, my Colt Combat Target with Pachmayrs and flat mainspring housing is as close to perfect as I've ever felt in a handgun—and I've got two GlocksSix Star said:
. I shoot the Glocks well but I'll be the first to admit that they are not the most comfortable handguns for me. The 1911 feels like it was modeled after my hands! The proof is in the pudding, or, er, the shooting, though—what counts is how well a handgun shoots not how comfortable it is.
I don't know about that; Vertec model might feel a little better in my hand than regular 92fs, but I can handle/control a regular Beretta better than a Vertec (plus it looks better), so that's what I got...
oh yeah, don't listen to NAA
I have both, and I recommend you shoot both before you decide. I happen to like both equally, but you might find one or the other more comfortable or easier to operate. Try and find someone in your gun-club that has them and try them out. It's a big purchase either way and unless you're getting both you should make an informed decision.

I have fired the Beretta many times, and although I dislike it I am quite accurate with it...I have also fired the Glock, and again, although I dislike it I found it to hit the target repeatedly.
As far as price is concerned, also considering availability of parts and mags; for those considerations alone I would go with the Glock.
Otherwise I would get a Springfield XD9, or a STI Trojan in 9mm(I like 1911s)

Way to generalize here.
Oh wait, don't buy a Glock because the 21's have had a few kabooms. The Beretta's slide will fly off and embed itself in your forehead. The Glock has poor chamber support and will explode in your hand. CZ's will give you herpes. I'm sure that there is no brand out there that hasn't had a failure with at least one of their products. I'll go with the others here, find a store that will let you fondle a few different pistols, and go with the one that feels right for you. It might not even be a Glock or a Beretta. I've shot both and they were both very nice. I seemed to be more accurate with the Glock on my first try even. 
Personally, I would go with a Glock. I think the grip is far better. I really like the sites. And, they are easy to operate for a lefty. I am probably in a minority, but I think Berettas are not nice looking guns. I hate the looks of the open slide.
