I have a buddy who has collected Beretta SXSs for years and loves them. I bought a Browning BSS last summer and it is a nice gun, too. I don't think you could go wrong with either one, although I would see how they handle and feel before you buy either. I would be leary about buying one over the internet and getting stuck with it. So, I would suggest you check them out personnaly before buying one. Good luck.
