IMO, no reason to buy the older vs. the new, but others will invariably have more info than I do...I'm no expert. If you gotta clean it up anyway, you might as well get a newer gun.

I think the functionality of both brands is fairly parallel & the main difference is in finish & fit, though I understand that Pietta has improved upon their fitting of parts.

If you intend to pretty up a gun with engraving & refinishing, might as well get a gun that will cost less to start with. I understand brand loyalty, though...if I'm gonna buy a guitar I turn my nose up at anything that isn't a Fender. Isn't the G&G a brass framed pistol? I didn't know Uberti made those...like I said, I'm no expert.
