moving uptown in june, going to get my first handgun, ive owned a few shotguns, but never a handgun.
im looking at the M&P 9mm and a beretta 9mm, is it just personal feel and preference or do you suggest one over the other?
no 1911's please, sorry KR

I have not had any experience with either, but I would suggest handling (and shooting if possible) as many different ones as you can. You may even like the feel of one you haven't considered, or rule out one of your choices.

I like the M&P out of those two

Don't worry too much about which one. Which ever one you buy, it won't be your last. They're like Lays potato chips.

You might want check out Bapple youtube channel. He has many different hand gun reviews and a lot of knowledge to learn from.
Bapple, you need to start charging per video man.

M&P, and good choice on 9mm. Make sure to keep hollow points in it for self defense.

I bought my old man a M&P shield 9mm for Christmas. It's pretty awesome. Small enough to carry but big enough to feel like a full pistol. I like it a lot. No experience with Beretta 9mm.

No need to apologize. There's plenty of room on the bandwagon. Don't let the wanna-be Seal Team Sixers get to you. All they are doing by being arrogant is driving people away. The last thing we need is fewer people who want to responsibly own handguns.
On topic: Are you dead set on those two models only? If so, as stated earlier, fondle them and shoot them if you can. Go with what feels best to you. Most modern guns are at least decent quality. You just need to decide what features you want most. You'll figure that out after you buy your first, and then that will lead you to buy more. And more. And more.

What's it going to be used for, e.g. home defense, truck gun, recreational shooting, concealed carry, etc."

To me the most comfortable semi-autos I've fired are Berettas and CZs. I feel like I have more surface area on my hand in contact with the gun which gives me a feeling of better control with less felt recoil.

Snub nose .38 doubles as a flash bang device.

no 1911 is an excellent idea it will be a while before you probably mature enough to have the privilege to own such a fine weapon.
I would suggest a .22 for you or maybe a 380
get which everyone feels the best
