How do you feel about the 'brassers' (brass-framed repros, including the historically correct Griswold & Gunnison, Schneider & Glassick, Spiller & Burr, etc? Let your voice be heard!

I only own one brasser....that said, they are just as much fun to shoot as a steel framed gun!

As long as they are true to the originals in .36 caliber and have blank cylinders, I have no problem with them.  The plethora of .44 caliber '1851 Navies' and sheriff's models out there are an affront to history and should be purged from existence.

I just bought one today.  I don't care if they are historically correct or what caliber just as long as you like how it looks and serves a purpose for you.  I make holsters and it doesn't matter whether it's brass or steel,  they all need a way to be carried.

Even my small resized pics are too big to post more than on at a time.  Here are some others.
