www.dixiegunworks.com AVOID Armi San Marcos manufactured revolvers. Piettas are improving. Uberti is about the top in consistent quality. The Navies are 36 and 44 caliber. The Armies are 44 caliber. Opentops and therefore they can jam on caps stuck/dropped in the action. The only wy to remove their cylinders is to tap out their wedges and disassemble. If you tap the wedge in too much, you lock up the actions or create binding. The Remingtons are a heavier, topstrap=reinforced frame revolver. They are easier to clean, remove and swap cylinders and even can have adjustable sights from the factory. The Ruger Old Army and the Remingtons are also easier conversions to 45 Long Colt because of their simple to swap cylinders.
