Uberti guns are the same size and shape as the original guns. The grip shape is also the same as an original Colt. The Pietta grip is not as curved. As for quality, both are good. I have had both and I like the feel and balance of the Uberti better. As for .36 or .44, that depends on how historically accurate you want to be. The 1851 navy revolver was only made in .36.
