Received a "Pocket" today from BerettaUSA and sent it back for exchange in the same hour.
Short arbor by .023" (go figure), timing problems, the wedge would bottom out with finger pressure and then I could wiggle the barrel.
Oh, and the wood fit about as well as a Pietta (proud at the palm heel area).
It sure was pretty, but so disappointing. I am right glad that I have been made aware of what to look out for because Uberti quality control certainly doesn't seem able to inspect them adequately.
MAYBE? it's replacement will be a better example (I pleaded that someone look it over before packaging!).
