Virtually every gun made has some kind of flaw, even if the piece cost $1000 or $2000.
Of course some flaws are worse than others, and sometimes they can't even be detected until the gun is fired.
What if you bought an Uberti that looked like it was perfect only to find out that it shoots off by a foot to one side?
If the rest of the Pietta is relatively perfect then on a scale of 1 to 10 that's not too bad of a flaw.
However I sincerely do sympathize with your disappointment and don't blame you for wanting to return it, especially if it doesn't look or feel right.
It happened to me once years ago when I picked up a gun at Navy Arms, 2 states and a few hours drive away.
Examining the gun in a warehouse, I failed to see the huge gap in the wood inletting of the barrel channel. I ended up sending it back dismayed just like your are now because I failed to notice the flaw when I looked.
Sometimes flaws simply have the ability to remain invisible to the buyer.
