Pre 22,500 serial number quality
« on: January 17, 2023, 08:32:13 AM »
I understand that USFA pistols with serial numbers below 22,500, give or take, were made with some Italian manufactured components. IE; frames and hammers, maybe more.  Could someone here with a solid knowledge base educate me on what this equates in real terms to differences and overall quality between the partial USA made and 100% USA made. 100% guns appear to have a higher collector/resale value but if a gun is being purchased to be enjoyed/used, any perceivable inequalities?
Thank you for any helpful information.
Regards,
Chas B

Allow me to be the First Responder.  The difference in quality between the USFA guns built with import Uberti parts and the "All USA" parts guns is negligible.  You'll need a microscope to find a difference in quality.

The collector market has created a faux valuation for "All USA" parts guns.  Supposedly better than the original guns (USPFA) while in truth, apples and apples.
