The only frame failures in a SAA that I have ever read/heard about were from over/under loaded hand loads. I saw pics, years ago of a 1st gen Colt SAA that was fired with an underloaded .45 round. Blew the cylinder apart, and the frame let go at the rear of the top strap at the top of the recoil sheild, not the loading channel. These failures were caused by bad ammo, not a weakness in the gun. I believe your fears are unfounded.

Underloaded? Was it an airspace in the case? How could an underloaded case cause such a catastrophic failure?
