1860 Colt Army cartridge converters

The 1860 Army Kirst Cartridge Konverter™ is made for Pietta and Uberti replica revolvers. The 1860 Konverter cylinder was designed with safety notches between chambers so you can safely carry 5 rounds of .45 Schofield/.45 Long Colt ammo. It will accommodate the .45 Long Colt cartridge if the bullet is seated slightly deeper. The ammunition must be loaded with lead bullets and a low-pressure, powder charge that DOES NOT EXCEED 1000 FEET PER SECOND VELOCITY!

All Kirst Konverters carry a lifetime "No B.S." warranty, plus they are made with pride in the good, old U.S.A.

(The SAAMI specification for overall length, for the .45 Colt, is 1.600 inch. The longest OAL that 1860 Pietta cylinder will accept is 1.58 inch and the 1860 Uberti cylinder is 1.53 inch. Some modern Cowboy Action Shooting ammunition may fit.)
