anecdotal Pietta versus Uberti
I own one of each.. the Remmy is Uberti, the Pietta is an Open top Colt and both are very fine. One thing to keep in mind is that the two companies have been in business for many years. Early Pietta's were not nearly as fine as Uberti's, but over the years, the Pietta's have improved their quality control to equal or exceed Uberti. My Uberti has a much finer trigger, much better trigger break, and the finish is better than the Pietta. Still the Pietta, with its round barrel is pretty stinking nice. It required a small amount of filing to get the wedge tuned where it can be easily removed.
The biggest problem I had was that there is no vendor that stocks both Uberti and Pietta in the same store location making comparison very difficult. I think the key is to find two stores and then visit each. You will need to really closely inspect and disassemble in front of the clerk prior to leaving the store. Cabella's stocks Pietta, but I don't know which Bass Pro stocks, and can't think of a store that has the Uberti's off the top of my head.
