When I went looking, the only place I could find a steel framed one was Cabelas. There are common in brass and nickle plated brass at some of the other sites. This one is perfectly timed and has a smooth action. It has proven reliable. People have been saying Pietta has improved quality control and this is one of the examples that I have handled that seem to support that. The only objectionalbe part is that Pietta has engraved their name prominently on the barrel. People are giving thumbs up to the brass framed ones too and some of the originals were made in brass.
