I have two 1860 Colt Army revolvers, one by Pietta and one by Euroarms. Both are fine guns without any of the spring, wedge and bolt problems you've read about here. I also have an 1858 Remington New Navy by Pietta; it's as well made as the others.

I believe the vast majority of Pietta's products are well done; all of the Italian replica manufacturers are capable of producing an occasional lemon.
