If you have a gun to shoot now, I wouldn't rush into buying a new gun. Try to shoot as many of the guns you listed before buying. A lot of ranges have guns to rent. One range near me rents Berettas while another Brownings, Guerinis, etc. If you buy a gun new then decide it is not the gun for you, you could expect a 20% to 25% hit in depreciation. I have bought used guns in the past at decent prices and if I liked it, I ordered a new gun. When I sold the used gun I came out about even. One last bit of advice, some people swear by Brownings, others by Guerinis, Berettas, etc. They are all good. Find out what best works for you.
