I'm confused. I've read some posts in other forums that say Uberti is the only way to go in BP revolvers and everything else is just a "wall hanger" not suitable for shooting. I also read that Pietta had some serious quality problems years ago, especially when conical bullets and larger powder loads were fired in the gun. On the other hand, posts by recent purchasers of the 1862 Army Police .36 caliber say the gun shoots like a dream after firing hundreds of rounds through it without showing any significant wear. I like the way the less expensive Pietta looks. I think it's a more handsome design and it shoots six rounds compared to Uberti's five. But what's the TRUTH ? Does anybody know ? What would you spend your $300 dollars on if you were buying a black powder revolver ? A used (excellent condition) Uberti, or a brand new Pietta ?
