Photos of the 51's

Trying to post a couple of photos of a couple of my 51's the brass frame one is one of the pistols that Saber River put new front sights on.

The second is a Silver Grip Frame . Steel frame 51 I bought up in payson this weekend.

Nice. Any problems with that brass frame?.....Buck

No problems with any of my brass frames. I only shoot 20 gr in them and they are dead on accurate.
I FLAT LOVE them.

I have shot several  matches with them and plann on using them at Winter Range.

I'd say the problems of brass frames are greatly exagerated.  I have an old ASM '51 brass frame that has been one of my main match guns for 5 years. It has had over 1500 rounds put through it.  It's a .36 cal and I use maximum charges so the 36 will ring steel loud enough to count the hits.  It is as tight as the day I got it.  However, I have noticed that my steel frame, 44 Uberti 1860 is starting to show some cylinder fore and aft play, with the same amount of use.

Mason,
You just got me in trouble with the wife!

Kid, you probably just need a new wedge for that .44.

I've noted few problems with .36 brass frames.  I think they are just fine for that calliber.  The .44s seem to be more problematic, and I suspect most reports of arbor loosening come from them.
