uberti vs pietta opinions

[n.c.outlaw2024]

i think uberti is more realistic as far as looking like the originals but pietta is smoother in actions. both are italian companies owned by beretta.
uberti came out with the hardin. a little rough working but looks good imo.

As an owner of both Urberti and Pietta black powder revolvers, I find the Uberti offerings much superior to Pietta. I say this based on the fit, finish, function and originality of their products.
That said, neither measure up to the original hand fitted and finished originals.

I have a Pietta 1873 Great Western II that was blued & CC by Turnbull. It's pretty slick.
