My wife is going to buy a 1851 Navy cap & ball Revolver for me as my Christmas gift. She wants me to pick it out for myself. It is to replace a Pietta Navy I eventually threw in the trash. Pietta 1851 revolvers ($275) are less expensive than Uberti 1851 revolvers ($355). Which would you recommend? Background: Back sometime in the early 1990's, I bought a Pietta 1851 Navy revolver and it was of such poor quality that it's action became inoperable. It wouldn't even stay cocked. I eventually broke the revolver apart and put it into separate trashes. So I have trepidation on buying a Pietta. But I believe I've heard that the Pietta of today is not the same quality as when I bought a Pietta almost 30 years ago. My SASS pistols and rifle are Uberti firearms and they have served me most satisfactorily. I have a nice display box, 36 caliber balls, powder, caps, wads, and powder flask, but no revolver. I now am going to replace that Navy revolver. It will not be used for SASS. Recommendations please!!!
