My advice would be to get an Uberti or Pietta steel frame model from Taylor's or MidwayUSA (they are Taylor's too). Taylor's are standing behind their product, I can proof it.

Both, Uberti and meanwhile Pietta are on top of the BP-revolver manufacturers.

Brass frames are cheap, and if you don't shoot them too much, and with no full power loads, they will survive some years. But, if you intend to shoot it every week, and experiment with it, steel is the only way to go.

WARNING: shooting blackpowder revolvers, pistols, and rifles, may be hazardous to your wallet and lead to BP-addiction!
