The FllPieta means they were made by the Pietta Company. Some people have good look with brass frames while others find they shoot loose fairly quickly. One poster said that he had actually bent his brass framed Remington 58 by seating a bullet too hard. This is quite feasible as the area at the bottom front of the frame has very little metal.
There are rumors that Pietta has improved their quality in recent years. This is definately the case with Uberti-another Italian replica maker.
For good information on using the caplock revolvers, see the black powder section of thehighroad.org. There is a sticky not by Gatofeo that is very detailed and useful
