Forward serrations on an M9 seems like it would get your hand burned if you didn't pay any attention. Practice malfunction drills, grab for forward serrations, get a hand full of hot barrel.If you eliminate the decocking lever issue, the controls would be equal.
I am not a big fan of a decocking lever however if I were recommending a 1st time user a gun, it would be the Beretta as being on the slide it is more visible. Also, learning to count your rounds (especially important in a gunfight) would keep you from racking the slide during a mag change.
The Beretta does lack serrations on the slide so grasping near the decocking lever is almost natural. If Beretta had put forward serrations just behind ejection port it would probably lessen chance of actuating safety/decocking lever.
Besides, the Beretta doesn't come in the soul killing .45ACP so naturally my choice would be Sig!
Just my $0.02
M9A3 has a light rail as well. Old Sigs didn't have one. I see that as a wash.The sig has an accessory rail for a momentary on off light. That makes it a better choice for hd over the M9 IMHO.

I think he brought up an M9A3 in the video as well. Either way.... SIG!!!!!! They just feel right.True but he was comparing an M9.
Ouch..... Burn....i'd take the Beretta with a the safety in the right spot
