Pietta Made, how good are they?
I've heard that the currently made Pietta BP pistols are for all intents and purposes just as good as the Uberti versions. Any truth to this? Are they just as good or better?

Re: Pietta Made, how good are they?
Mine seem good as any...Ive not compared to Uberti yet, but soon as Walker arrives, I should give a limited comparison anyway...dont know how they could be made any better...
A friend recently purchased a Pietta "Bill Hickock" special, from Cabelas...I saw it at the range earlier this week and it is BEAUTIFUL....Engraving is exceptionally well done and tasteful, it was slick as butter and great trigger..fit was perfect and wedge easy enough to remove without beating out with mallet.....I could not believe he got it new and on sale for about $135...Almost too pretty to shoot...

Re: Pietta Made, how good are they?
not bad actually , the stuff folks complain about is trivial , parts are easy to get and the company on the whole and their agents all seem ok to me .. i do get a few repairs , like anything treat em rough and they break ( dry firing is not good ) but thats it really
decent quality for what your paying |

Pietta's internal quality equals or exceeds Uberti. Uberti may have a little better finish but by far the best bang for the buck is Pietta. |

Re: Pietta Made, how good are they?
Either he lied to me..(entirely possible around gun-folk)...or I just heard him wrong...I was all ready to order me a couple...
 Even at 329, its a beaut of a gun...

Re: Pietta Made, how good are they?
I've owned pretty much every maker out there, just stay away from the brass frame open top Colt knock offs and you pretty much can't go wrong. I prefer Uberti, they made all the Colt reissue guns, but you're paying for the name not just quality, they do have to meet import standards so have fun.

Re: Pietta Made, how good are they?
I've shot my Pietta about 200 times and it still works like new.
