Rotating barrel lock is the same idea as the rotating bolt in the AR-series of rifles. Beretta's been using it in handguns since the Cougar in the mid-90s. As with anything, the more complicated something is the more apt for failure it is, but this doesn't always mean it's going to fail. I know the trigger assembly on my Beretta skeet gun has a third of the moving parts compared to my friend's Kreighoff, but neither has ever broken and his trigger is certainly smoother than mine.

If it were me Luc, I'd buy one gun that I'd been eyeing for awhile, then haunt the gun ranges and see if you can shoot the hardware other people bring. This will give you a broad experience base that allows you to make better formed opinions about certain design features. Some folks just can't shoot certain guns for whatever reason, and you'll never know it until you actually have it in your hands and put rounds downrange.

All that being said, I really like the Kahr pistols, the Browning Hi-Power feels like it belongs in my hand, and I've never had a hint of trouble with my Sigs. Your mileage may vary.

rotating bolt is usually so the firearm can have a weaker spring versus a blowback gun. In a pistol, this will make the slide easier to pull back.
