No, not brass, not sure what kind of metal. It is small, then it has a hole for the pin, with makes it even weaker. If you are careful with it, you probably won't have a problem. By now I would guess most owners are aware of the weakness. It is simple to replace, and the lever is like 5 bucks. But as you say for the price it should be stronger.What material was used for the lever? Brass? Sounds like it's way too brittle for a pistol in this price range. You wouldn't see a titanium lever snapping off like that.
