Actually ALL the Italian manufacturers were plagued with soft internal parts problems at one time, ASM being the worst. ASM also had a reputation for cosmetic issues (fit and finish) but function was usually acceptable. Pietta was considered better than ASM but worse than Uberti. The soft parts issue has been corrected, it seems, and Pietta has significantly improved their quality in recent times so that they compete with Uberti.

True dat. Pietta got new CNC machinery around 2000 and their quality went way up but not all the older Pietta's were bad. I have one made in 76 that's just as good as a new one. I got it used tho so I don't know what internals may have been replaced.
