I am interested in the 1858 "Buffalo Revolver" at Cableas. I have heard that if you want to do a lot of shooting, to avoid a brass frame. How big of deal is this really. The brass fame model sells for $220
and the Stainless steel model sells for $470, It is on sale right now for $400 but the sale price doesn't do me any good, cause I don't have $400 right now.
So I have a couple of questions. If I bought the brass frame and shoot quite a bit, is it likely to fall apart on me? If the brass frame doesn't hold up could I put the 12" barrel on another 1858?
