What I especially like is that I have the ability to use modern ammo if I want to but can still use the gun as a cap & ball revolver if the need arises. I've got a '58 Remington revolver in.44 cal and I have Kirst conversion cylinders (two in 45LC and one 45ACP) for them. I reload for my Vaqueros and this Cowboy Action loading (1000 FPS) or less is required using this conversion. ![]() A good swirling of cold blue and a excellent blend-in on the finish. Then about an hour of progressively finer sandpaper until the metal surface matched the outer frame. I used a 1/2 carbide grinding bit in an air drill, about 30 minutes of careful work. No timing or fitment issues, only a loading gate cut had to be made in the frame. The fit and finish was perfect, a VERY high quality accessory indeed. ![]() The Kirst cylinder was ordered last Sunday and was at my door on Wednesday. I received my.44 Dragoon on the 15th and decided to convert it to.45 Long Colt centerfire.
