My first two C&Bs were Colt repro brass frame .44 revolvers. That was in the 70s (a time before internet). And, yes both eventually gave problems. The only other brass frame I have owned was a .31 CVA Pocket Remington repro. The little gun did not hold but 10 grains of BP and it shot like a champ. I've always regretted letting that one get away.

Overall brass frames would not be my first choice. The steel frame guns are not that much more in cost. There is a reason you don't see threads about them.
