I have recently been reading a lot about chain fires, what could potentially cause them and what resulted after the fact by many posters writing about their experiences. Whether anyone could insure the prevention of such an occurrence appears doubtful since there are likely many different causes during the firing & ignition sequence that could be contributory. But the relevant question that remains is whether or not if a total chain fire reaction occurred, would a brass framed revolver be able to handle the stress undamaged or unaffected? Just how much of an added margin of strength is built into the brass frame is a huge question mark when compared to a steel one, but it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that a steel framed revolver probably leaves plenty more of a margin of surplus strength to survive the unplanned chain fire unscathed.
