The Pietta 1860 is fine, just as good if not better than Uberti. Don't listen to anything Capt. C. says. It will take many years before you need to replace a Colt style wedge and if you do break a hand spring they're cheap.

The open top Pietta's are just fine. There are revolvers that make it past quality control that should not, but most are just fine out of the box. You can knit pick small things on just about all of them, but nothing that makes them unserviceable. Buy the one you like, then buy more

MCB is right in saying HH is right about the Piettas. I've got a few of them (1860s and 1851s) that are great shooters. Following Pettifogger's tuning the Pietta revolver articles should make em pretty much bulletproof.
