China Grove NC here. Love BP revolvers ever since I got my first from EMF through the mail way back in 1976, an 1860 Army brass frame .44. Now I have quite a few in my collection, some conversion but most not. Just ordered a Kirst conversion with loading gate for my 1860 Army .44 snub nose. Great vid!

I have purchased two for my 58 remingtons and they fit perfect.taylors is definitely a great place to get em.just ordered a 60 snubnose army and will be getting a conversion for that too.

I have the same basic setup for my Uberti 1851 Navy "London" model in .36 caliber. This allows me to shoot .38 specials (my reloads) using the conversion cylinder. I purchased my revolver and the conversion cylinder at he same time from MidwayUSA. Great fun!

John W i have one for my Pietta Navy too. Unfortunately, the bore for .36 is too wide for the rifling to grab the .38 spl (or .38 long colt in my case) round so accuracy is not that great. Unless you get heeled bullets or shoot hollow based wadcutters

I have the sheriff's model but made by pietta. I ordered the kirst gated cylinder and hD the gunsmith install it. He did nice work. Haven't shot it yet though.

Great video - thanks

I need to try out cartridge conversions sometime, seems like a fun option.

Howell is a great one,,,Kirst is also great...

mine uses .45 Colt "Short" (AKA .45 cowboy Action special) and have just as much fun with a lot less powder.

Man... That gun is beautiful! No frame acrossed the top looks super clean but makes me nervous with .45 lc

I would go for a real cartridge conversion pistol. As said below, costs the same as pistol/cylinder but far less hassle and wear with constant disassembly/reassembly. Also gives me a reason to pick up another set of pistols! My first 38 Special (S&W K-15 Combat Masterpiece) revolver was purchased when a friend gave me a box of ammo. Needed SOMETHING to shoot that ammo with!

Again, lead bullets move down the barrel with greater ease and less pressure than jacketed bullets. The design of the gun frames limits the working pressures.

The Colt style of these is a PITA.....always having to take the barrel off to reload.....wear on the wedge from repeated removal. My Remington R&D cylinder is much faster.
