I recently took a trip our nearest Bass Pro Shop. While I was there I decided to get myself a new 1851 colt navy 44. As I was looking at the steel framed colts my wife spotted a Traditions brass framed 1858 Remington Bison 44 with a 12" barrel and adj. sights. She talked my into buying both guns.
The 1858 is made by Pietta and seems to be very well made. With the 12" barrel and adj. sights it should prove to be a good long range shooter.
It seems to me that the closed brass frame of the Remington would be stronger than the open brass framed Colts. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with brass framed 1858 Remingtons and could tell how well I can expect mine to hold up.
