Pietta Pistola

[Paladin UK]

Ho pards
Had a great time this weekend went to Bisley to the annual trade-gun show.

Now whilst there I spy-ed with my little eye a New Pietta Pistola, looks virtually the same as the Uberti Cattleman bearing in mind that these are the ML versions so the hammers and cylinders are different to the cartridge version, my question is......

Do any pards know iffn ......the Pietta better or worse than the Uberti for accuracy

Doubt we'll ever see the Pietta on this side of the pond.  A few Ubertis came in, but didn't sell well.  Most people shooting C&B wanted something that looked like a C&B.  The death nell was when SASS declared them illegal for Frontiersman.  (The C&B category at SASS matches.)

Ah My Dear PUK -

Firstly, I really think you should move to Texas .....

but WRT the percussionized 1873 I see that Dixie has been selling the Pietta version over here for some time:
