Also it sounded to me like you were referring to the '51 Navy with the brass trigger guard and back strap as being "brass framed". That's not actually correct, as the revolver in the video was obviously steel framed.

A brass framed revolver has the main frame being made of brass, with the main frame being the standing breech, recoil shield, and the part of the frame where the hammer, trigger, and hand are screwed in, as well as the cylinder arbor.

Tough audience, aren't we?
