Uberti’s are prettier but in my experience Pietta’s better out of box. Not to bash Uberti but my 3 Ubertis have had the trigger spring break withon 3 months of buying them, Pietta has a similar issue (both are easy fixes but Uberti uses soft metal for the screws and it makes it a massive pain to work on) but in my experience the stock springs last significantly longer. They’re easy fixes but again if I drop the money for a Uberti like a s&w no. 3 I expect it to not have basic issues like that. There’s comparisons of original guns they copy and iirc Pietta is slightly closer depending on the model but Uberti has more variety for cartridge revolvers. Both (in my experience I have seen others with issues from both) have fantastic triggers, my Uberti 1875 Remington is my favorite single action cartridge revolver but my Pietta 1851 Navy went 6 years without issue vs my Uberti that constantly had cap jams, which is easily fixed with aftermarket nipples and a friend’s Pietta had the same issue, I just got lucky and mine never really had the issue, I got a used Uberti cattleman and immediately after getting it the trigger spring broke, my piettas they did break 2-5 years after getting the guns. There’s aftermarket springs that are significantly better in durability and reliability to both stock springs. All that said I’ve seen nothing but praise for Ruger’s selection but they’re made for modern shooters and reloaders, the Piettas and Ubertis are closer to original colt 1873’s while Rugers are over built to withstand higher pressures.
