The reproductions which Uberti manufacture are very close to the originals, and in some facets they even outdo them. The materials are tougher, the coatings and hardenings are more durable, and they are way more affordable than actual antique weapons.

Which is better Pietta or Uberti?

In my experience, Uberti does a better job on the finish than Pietta does. Also, the grip shape on the Piettas does not match the grip shape of an original Colt Richards Conversion, built on the 1860 frame. More flare at the bottom of the PIetta grip. Really noticeable if I hold them both.
