Thats what my conversion cylinder is for. i take 6 45colts put them in and they shoot.
sundance44s, while I agree with the sentiment regarding the 45 LC black powder ballistics, I cringe every time I hear of somebody buying such a conversion for their colt clone. The design of the gun was not made to handle such power.
The 1872 was offered in 44 Colt for a reason. It duplicated the power of the 44 C&B.
The 45 LC is in a class by itself and needs the extra engineering of the Model P to safely get the full benefit of the cartridge.
Just my thoughts.
As for the OP idea, do not do it. Guns are easy to rebuild. Hands are not, and no where near as good after the rebuild.
