RE: reasonable, practicle 9mm
There's so many different makes and models out there.What I suggest is shop around and handle as many as you can.See which one feels right to you.Personally for a carry gun I wouldn't skimp bybuying a lower end gun. Your life might depend on that gun. If it malfunctions at the range is one thing. In a SD situation you need a reliable gun.
I carry a Glock M-27 which has been nothing but reliable. They have the same gun in 9mm the M-26.They would fall in your price range.As for buying new or used depends on allot of things.The condition ,price and the source.I sure wouldn't buy one off the corner,just because.
Good luck in your decision.

Check out the beretta storm px4 pistol. I bought one a couple years ago, and love it. Has 17 or 20 round mags, great ergonomics. All the bells and whistles, interchangable backstraps, light rail, night sights, etc... I have owned many other brands, but it is hard to beat berretta. They make a nice little compact model now also. http://www.px4storm.com/index.aspx?m=53&did=55

Sig Sauer P226 New? That is a heck of a deal if you can find one for $600.

I have a FEG it's a Hungarian Hi-Power clone .Well actually I believe they are cut out on Hi Power tooling . Any way I like it ,its proved reliable and not really picky about ammo , ball HPs and cast from 115-147 and lil'bitty groups .

I bought a Taurus Millennium 9mm about 6 years ago and it has functioned flawlessly. I have put about every conceivable brand and weight bullet through it and hundreds of reloads. Never a hiccup.
I carried it concealed until all the time until I got a P3AT. I now carry the P3ATwhen Iwearshorts and a t-shirt since it is practically unnoticable and the Taurus the rest of the time.

If your still in the market for a reasonably priced 9mm,Check out this site: http://www.centerfiresystems.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=233$349.99
I have the 9mm MAP 1 FS. It's a bit heavy for carry but a great shooter. I use it in IPSIC & IDPA.
Their poly frame would make a good carry gun though.
