I've owned several Uberti's over the past 25 years and I have never been disappointed; and I have shot the crap out of them. They tend to be rather accurate, and they work perfectly. There are some subtle improvements to the Uberti guns over the Colts which make the lock work a littl more robust. I've fixed several Colt's in my day, but I can recall only fixing one Uberti. One thing common on Colt's is broken half cock notches and broken triggers at the sear, but I have never seen this on a Uberti.
