I have an SS Pietta 1858, and it's nice. After reading often that the Uberti's are better I started looking into the purchase of one, but as I looked into it more and more I came to the conclusion that the Uberti's aren't that much better. Alas, I will never know for sure until I get one. Mine was made in 1993 and right away I bought an extra cylinder, well, the newer cylinders accommodate a wider bolt, and there is noticeably more slop in the timing. It works though.
