A week ago my kirst conversion cylinder and barrel insert chambered in 22 LR for my Uberti pocket police arrived in the mail.
I finally got around to fitting it to my pocket police today and the process took me around a hour. It fit my pocket police just fine but when cocked it wouldn't go into full cock.
I assumed the hand was long and was correct in my assumption. I proceeded to file a little bit off the hand at a time and then reassemble and test for functionality until the little pistol would function correctly.
When I took it out to shoot today I quickly realized when trying to load the cylinder that 4 out of 6 chambers couldnt chamber a cartridge due to having burs so I took a small round file to knock down the burs until the cartridges slid into the cylinder.
The conversion cylinder feels very solid and well made save the small issue with the burs in the chamber mouths which was quickly remedied.
The 2 3/8" barrel sleeve has a nice right hand twist rifling and is also very sturdy feeling.
My first cylinder with CCI 22 LR standard ammo was shooting quite low at 5 yards as I've lowered my hammer notch for the percussion cylinder.
I set out a 24 ounce beer can that I found in the woods and stepped back to 12ish yards and changed my point of aim
Much to my amazement The darn can started dancing as it was getting pelted with every shot I took. I decided to step back another 5 yards and was still hitting the can every time.
In total I put 50 rounds through the little cylinder today and was PLEASANTLY surprised at the accuracy out of the tiny 2 3/8" barrel insert.
All in all this is a great little rig and I intend to take the pocket police with its regular percussion cylinder and its conversion kit with me out into the woods on small camping trips or expeditions.
I'm a big fan of walt kirsts' conversion products and will continue to happily purchase them from him.
