My recollection is the Pietta grips are larger but since i no longer own any more Pietta Remingtons I can't compare them directly. I now have uberti and Euroarms Remingtons. The ubertis are a little lighter in the frame than the Piettas but the Euros are lighter still with the smallest grips of all. The difference in handling of the Euroarms vs the Pietta is like the difference between a colt Navy and a colt Army. The navy being light weight and more pointable but in the Euro's case, also a 44. I got rid of the Piettas due to poor cylinder/bore alignment and general "clunkiness" compared to the Ubertis and then discovered the Euros are even smaller & lighter. From what I have read widely, the Piettas (especially their Colt clones) are of better quality than in the recent past. Too many people have commented favorably on them for there to not be some truth it it. Actually the Pietta Remingtons have always been well thought of. I think I just had a bad run with 3 different SS piettas that I no longer have.
