I just wrote Midway a couple of emails bemoaning the fact that I've had a Uberti 1861 Navy on backorder for almost 4 months now. I'm really getting frustrated!
When I got this way back in the day, my philosophy was: "if you can't get what you want, you take what you can get!" At least when it came to wimmins...
Being a little long in the tooth for all
that effort anymore, I have just adapted the attitude to guns!
I'll take what I can get until I can get what I want.
So Cabella's has Pietta 1860 Army's on closeout for around $189. For that matter so does Midway, but their price is something like $229.
I have never done a side by side comparison between Pietta's and Uberti's, but I am familiar with Uberti's general quality. I am NOT familiar with Pietta's fit, finish and dimentional accuracy. Reports seem to indicate the newer Pietta's rival Uberti in those respects, but I'd like some first hand info from member's here.
