i seen a colt SAA grip matched up to an uberti 1851, and it fit almost perfectly, but when matched to a pietta there were a lot of differences in the profile of the grip frame... im not sure if pietta has corrected this yet or not, or if it even exists on other models which is why i was wondering...
a pietta is about $200 at cabelas, and an uberti is about $280, and id be willing to pay the extra $80 of the uberti was closer to original, holes drilled in the right places, proper profile, etc... im also willing to do a bit of work to make them more authentic if necessary, such as fine tuning the grip profile and grips themselves, deburr parts, trigger work, etc
