Captain, not sure where the dissertation on brass guns came from but I have no brass guns, don't want any, and will never buy one. I think Fingers was making a little joke.
In a review of my copy of "Colt Blackpowder Reproductions and Replicas" by Dennis Adler, there are no 2nd Gen or 3rd Gen BP Colts with brass frames unless they were 3rd Gens manufactured between 1995 and 2002, which are not covered by the book. My own 3rd Gens are steel. I also don't think Uberti currently makes any brass frame guns either, although some other Italian companies do. Some, however, are true reproductions of Confederate copies originally made with brass.

Dunno what drivel the Capt. is spoutin now but Colt didn't make any brass frames. Brass frames are fine if you know their limitations. A .36 in a brass frame will handle max loads fine but a .44 in a brass frame won't. Probably one reason .44's were never offered in a brass frame.
