heres a good one for you people here to wake you up to reason and logic.
the common saying is not to get a cartridge conversion for a 1851 colt in 44 as the frame "couldnt stand" the pressure as it was originally intended for .36.
however the wise sages say the 1860 colt army revolver is ideal for a cartridge conversion to use 45 long or 45 sw.
but the issue and teaser i have is,
the 1860 IS an 1851 navy frame. so how can the parent gun be insufficient for the cartridge conversion when it still has more steel in it?
