The brass frame looks nice but I know from personal experience that it is a pain in the butt to keep looking like that, and as it is softer, it gets hammered a lot more by actual use which eventually increases the cylinder to barrel gap. The bottom pistol has that square-back trigger guard and is plated steel on the one I own; that color case hardening is beautiful in my opinion.

I agree on the brass. Mostly on the softer metal being an issue.
Number one on purely Southern US aesthetic.
Not sure if you’re Dances or not. If you are, I hope all is good with you and that you have a great 2026.
Not Dances. Wishing you and your wonderful family a great 2026
