I usually just say "I love my '62 Police" ! I got it new In 2016, here is "The rest of the story"
I got this Uberti '62 Pocket Police because it is the correct size (Pietta is on the Navy frame).
When I opened the box and admired it's beauty (this is a 2015 build) things appeared to need fitting. there was way excessive cylinder/ barrel gap, and incorporate arbor shim by the time that was corrected it needed a "wedge adjuster" . Then was noticing the hand had to jump to the side because there was not a relieve for it to pass the arbor. The last thing before it got fired was it's cap rake.
A few weeks later it got a bolt block and an action stop.
It does not have quite the full Goon's Gun Works race ready tuning, but thanks to his advice it is a 99.9% reliable (as good as a cartridge revolver) and stays loaded for any necessity.
 
Glad to hear you got the Pocket Police sorted out. I wish Uberti would go back to making that relief cut on the arbor so it doesn't interfere with the hand. I have some older Uberti's that do have that cut.
