Hey all,
I have a question for anyone with experience or knowledge of conversion revolvers. I'm specifically interested in the Richards-Mason 1860 Conversion. Anyway, When gun manufacturers like Uberti and Cimarron say on that their replica conversion revolvers can fire .38 special ammo ... do they really mean .38 special? Are they referring to using specific light loads or black powder loads in .38 special, or do they really mean standard factory ammunition?
Thanks all, I'm trying to piece together what it is exactly that I want in a single action revolver, and I absolutely love the aesthetics of the ol' conversions. I would prefer the 1860 conversion, but I'm also looking into the 1871-72 conversions and 1851's too... so could anyone answering also apply these models to my original question as well. Thanks
Additionally, if any of these conversions cannot handle standard factory .38 special ammunition, do you know of any conversions that will?
Thanks all !
