The S-S P226 shoots very nice, and was highly recommended by a SDPD
cop, ex-SWAT.  The SDPD can carry the Beretta 92F but not the 92SB,
which has the magazine release on the bottom (bad in combat shooting).

I think the choice between a P226 and 92F is personal preference 
(particularly the S-S's lack of a safety) and price.  Both are considered
very reliable, accurate guns with 15-round magazines.  When I looked 
into buying a gift for a would-be police officer, I chose the 226, 
because of a special price and it's slightly more concealable.
It's worked out quite well.
