The Uberti is a 5 shot and the Pietta is a 6 shot. With the Uberti you won't have an empty chamber to rest the hammer on, unless it has the safety notches between the chambers. I have 2 of the Pietta 1862's, from Cabelas, one the police model and the other the snubnose. They both do quite well as main match guns, although the snubnose takes more effort to load, it makes a dandy cross draw belly gun.
