I'd say right about that size

6-7" long 4.75-5.5" tall

Definitely P229, then - get it in .40 and buy the .357 barrel (after all, Sig invented the .357 automatic) - 2 guns, but I'd up your budget to about $1000.

A little heavy, but definitely a lifetime purchase.

That helps some. In addition, Bapple's made a good point w/ the question of double wide mag vs. single wide guns.

I'd consider looking at the following guns.
single wide (some of these may be smaller than you want):
Kahr CM9/PM/CW9
Bersa BP 9cc
S&W Shield
Kimber Solo
Beretta Nano
?Springfield XDs 9 when available

double wide:
Ruger SR9
XD compact or service
I'm sure there are some Sigs in this category as well, but I'm just not very up to date w/ the current Sig line up.
ETA: S&W M&P series

As far as the Beretta PX series, I'm sure they're fine guns, but my preference is NOT a DA/SA trigger like theirs.
