ok...
i've been hearing uberti bp pistols are superior to piettas. can anyone quantify this for me. i have 2 pietta colt clones and one uberti 2nd mod. dragoon.
all three have their problems.
the piettas peen the cylinder detents and eat trigger springs like snacks.
the uberti has also ingested a trigger spring...though to be fair i have no idea how old this gun is as i bought it second hand.
the piettas are scary accurate though they shoot high like all colts.
the uberti dragoon...ive never even hit the target with it..i have no idea where the balls are going for all i know they might be going behind me. but like i say this gun is really a wall hanger.
my shooting buddy just bought a uberti cattlemans carbine and the mainspring broke while it was sitting uncocked on the bench..... just went ping. we looked at each other like.....did that just happen?
so if anyone has experience with current guns of both makes please tell me about the differences..you see i have the bug bad..real bad, and if ubertis are really that much better ill start buying them.
really my biggest complaint about the piettas are the soft internal lockwork parts..are the uberti parts hardened?
thanks
