So I have been watching Hell on wheels, and that show introduced me to the Griswold, cabellas has a pietta clone for $209,

This would be my first bp arm, I have always wanted a revolutionary era flintlock, maybe from a good kit but this cap and ball revolver looks like an easier introduction to black powder, I like the brass look and southern lineage, (like me) edging out the colt the griswold is patterned after. but is there Any downside to the brass frame? is it a weakness? are these decently made? is everything else effectively the same as a colt pattern?
