Traditions C&B

What kind of quality can you expect to get from a traditions C&B revolver?

 

[Tracy]

They are made by Pietta,at least the ones I have seen.Pietta seems to make a pretty good gun.

I have 3 Piettas. Never had a problem with any of em. And they shoot pretty good too.

I would EXPECT to get what I pay for. Traditions imports and sells Pietta, who have been improving quality and seem to have reached the point where their prices reflect good value for the product. You can buy better "quality" in terms of fit, finish and performance but it will cost significantly more.

 

I have both uberti and pietta.
Some say uberti is the best.
But having both I cant really tell that much difference in either.
At one time I would say uberti is a better quality.
But I think pietta has come a long way in quality.
And has caught up to uberti.

Both of my Pietta’s shot right out of the box and have never needed any fitting or work. The 1861 and 1860 Piettas don’t look as nice as my 1851 and Walker Ubertis, however they didn’t require any work to be made shoot able. The Uberti Walker had a cylinder pin that was almost flat on one side. I had to use wood wedges to separate the barrel. The nipples were so small that both #10 and #11 caps fell off. Oh yah, when I did shoot it the loading lever latch fell off the barrel. My 1851 Uberti, which is the nicest looking gun I have, had the wedge so tight the cylinder would not turn out of the box. That was easy to get over. When I shot it the front sight came off and was lost. My order at VTI has been on back order for a month. I will give you the fact that Uberti pistols look nice but the Pietta’s are well worth their cost as shooters. How about those cheesy boxes and instructions that come with your more expensive Uberti’s ???
