I tend to agree with ZVP in the most general terms in his opinion of Uberti versus Pietta. The fit and finish just seem to be at a higher level. Keep in mind that my opinion is only from the small handful of Ubertis and Piettas I own. I've read posts about problems with both Pietta and Uberti on numerous forums. My opinion is only based on personal and limited interaction with the handful I own. I will note that my first Uberti 1858, while a beautiful firearm, has the common problem where the barrel was not rotated to top-dead-center. Rather it was off by about 5 degrees so I chose to send it back and get a replacement rather than mess with it myself.
