Opinion of brass framed Navy Arms revolver?
Saw an unfired replica of the Griswold & Gunnison (.36cal.) at a reasonable price the other day. As my mind isn't made up yet, is there anything I should know about brass framed revolvers? Btw, I believe the original was brass framed as well. Thanks in advance!
Brass frame great for target work!
Maven, Sounds good to me as a target gun, and something a little bit less common than the brass-framed Rem '58s I have. Been shooting them for nearly ten years now---first in Kowboy Plainesman events and more recently in muzzleloading shoots and just plain plinking---and mine are 44s, but beefed up a bit by the top strap. I have an iron version of same, but don't shoot it as much. I just just like the heft and feel of the brass-framed ones.
Being as I don't feel the need to load em up with more than 25-30grains of black, I doubt that I have stressed them much.----------jethrow
