Howdy, my name is Sam'L Remington, aka: Walt Kirst. My passions for 19th century firearms and especially the development of the revolver, led to my invention of the Kirst Cartridge Konverter™. In the mid 1990s I developed my cartridge conversion system for the Remington New Army Model Revolver, to add a new dimension of enjoyment for cap & ball enthusiasts who love Cowboy Action Shooting. It is more or less a combination of the early, large frame Remington conversions and the Colt Richards conversion. Now with the Kirst Cartridge Konverter™ you can switch you favorite cap & ball replica revolver to cartridge and back by simply changing cylinders.

All Kirst Cartridge Konverters™ are precision CNC machined in the USA from 4140 Steel and heat-treated. The cartridge conversions are rated "For Black Powder or equivalent loads only," which includes the current Cowboy Loads on the market. .45 caliber cylinder conversions must NEVER be installed in a .36 caliber revolver. The Kirst Converter must NEVER be used in Brass Frame Revolvers.
