And, Uberti makes the finest quality cap & ball revolvers on average that I have seen. Fili Pietta makes some good, and some very bad (inoperative even!). If you have a nice working Pietta, you're ahead of the pack quality wise. Their QC is all over the place.

I only have the Pietta 1858 New Army so far, but will be adding the 1863 Pocket soon. The Pietta is of very nice quality. Fit and finish very good and the action is at least as smooth as most of the modern cartridge revolvers I’ve handled. In a side-by-side comparison it appears every bit the equal of my friend’s Uberti copy. From what I’ve been reading, this is now to be expected of Pietta.
In any case, BP revolvers are a LOT of fun!
