Uberti Colt's do have short arbors. It is an easy fix. If you don't fix it wedge depth will change cylinder clearance to the point if you drive it in too deep it will bind the cylinder face against the forcing cone. Pietta you can drive the wedge in as hard as you want and not change cylinder clearance. Uberti's are closer to originals in size but they are still a tad bigger. Uberti hides the Italian markings where Pietta plasters them on the side of the barrel. Pietta has big fat grips with a lot of proud wood where Uberti grips are more slender and a better fit. Pietta Remington front sights are extremely tall which makes for better shooting but look ridiculous. Uberti Remington front sights are shorter but still taller than original and look out of place. Mechanically they're about the same. Uberti's usually have less tooling marks inside. Uberti's cost more.
