The Heritage big bores are Pietta made parts.

He said talk him out of it so I tried.
The older one I've shot dozens of time and it's beautiful. The new one I haven't had out to shoot yet..trying to find .45 lc around here is nigh impossible.Dang JC, not good on that hammer. That had me go look at my 1873 Pietta Gunfighter and my Uberti/Taylor's "Old Randall, both in .45 Colt. Fit and finish on both are spot on. And on my Taylor's, the knurling is centered as it should be. Damn the luck sometimes. How do they shoot? For the price of these Italian imports, I can't complain.
That is some ugly checkering! Looks like it was cut with a dull misaligned tool by someone with poor eyesight. You should send your supplier a copy of the photo that you posted. They might send you another.
The knurling used to be cast-in. It's never been hand cut, that I recall. On the new guns it's done by laser or EDM.
Case colors do vary by gun but are also absolutely generation. 20yrs ago, they all looked like this.
They've not only improved their case colors but they're also much more consistent. Now they more or less look like this:
But uh-oh...
I never noticed this before. This really is laughingly bad. Somebody's retarded in-law must be responsible for hammer checkering at Uberti.
Fortunately I'm right-handed. If I were a lefty my thumb might slip off that wide margin.
Lol
I'm going to try to overlook this one blemish but I'm afraid that once seen it can never be un-seen.
Bought mine in 2014.How old are the ones with the bad checkering jobs?
Cimarron imports both Uberti and Pietta firearms. I prefer the Pietta.
No issues with my 3 Ubertis. All in 357 mag.
