How do the BR110's stack up against the Beretta SP1's ??
Especially quality and handling

I agree the Beretta will likely hold its value better.

They have 2 pretty different wood finishes.
The Beretta is flat oil finish (no gloss) and wood is usually rather plain in my experience.
The Rizzini is a polished oil finish (a bit more glossy) and you MAY find one with nicer wood (but lots of plain Rizzini's as well).

The Rizzini has a matte black metal finish as opposed to the traditional blued metal of the Beretta.
I personally don't like the Rizzini matte finish, however it would be more durable to scratches and wouldn't rust or show fingerprints as easily.

I think both are on par durability-wise, but Beretta has a much larger sample size and following so I would have to give reliability to the Beretta.
Parts and service for Rizzini is not a great situation (RizziniUSA/Fierce)

Handling is personal preference in my opinion. They do have a different fit/feel.

my 2cents
