Howdy Gus,
As far as which outfit sells the best Uberti firearms, most folks seem to agree that Cimmarons have the best fit and finish. Both Cimmaron and EMF have higher grade guns (Model P and Hartford) than the standard Ubertis, but the difference is basically fit and finish. I personally shoot three matches a month with a pair of Uberti 1875 Remingtons, and the only problem I've had is broken handsprings (fortunately never in the middle of a match).
If you're looking at brass gripframed gun, be diligent about not shooting hot loads out of it, 'cause the brass will stretch.
Reloading 44-40 requires that the cases be lubed before sizing. To some folks this a major turnoff, but others don't give rat's behind. So, that's really a personal choice.
